I have a caveat about Juanita's choice of toons this week. The one about windmills freezing is totally wrong. Windmills do fine in cold weather. It was the gas fired plants in Texas that failed. This is a fine example of why centralized production and grid distribution is a long term global climate crisis disaster waiting to happen.
