Green Energy

Well, the storms that we're all having are a real test of some of this "green energy" fad that we all are starting to notice. Besides being far more expensive than fossil fuels, it isn't at all efficient.
During the storms, electric cars, whose batteries run down faster in the cold, were left stranded all over the place while cars that ran out of gasoline were filled back up and went on their way.
Solar cells were covered with ice and snow, making them unusable and the low temperatures even cracked some of them. Plus they need to be replaced every so many years at great expense.
Wind turbines became frozen, thus producing nothing. These too have a finite life and expensive replacement.
The bottom line is that "green energy" works if you can afford it and only under ideal conditions. There is no "free lunch".
