[NationalReview] Baby, it’s cold outside!Much of the Midwest and Mountain states are seeing subzero temperatures and blizzard conditions as the polar vortex sweeps through. As far south as Dallas, the temperatures dipped into the 20s. In parts of Minnesota, temperatures dipped to near their lowest levels in a century. In Texas, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram is warning of "rolling blackouts" due to extreme cold.
Green energy to the rescue, right?
Hardly. As the Center for the American Experiment, a climate-skeptic Minnesota-based think tank has reported:
"Wind turbines are shut down when temperatures are below -22° F because it is too cold to operate them safely. This means it will be too cold for the wind turbines built by the power companies to generate any electricity."
