Thanks!
Are you in the CT or MA area where Enel has the windmill farms?  I have to wonder if they've experienced the same problems in the northeast as those in the southwest have experienced when they iced up last winter and were rendered useless, kind of like the thousands of EV owners learned when they found out their batteries wouldn't charge properly when the temperatures dropped into the teens.  I'm sure millions of people in every northern state who considered buying one crossed it right off their list when they saw the reality of their inefficiencies and how unreliable they were.

I get a kick out of seeing the memes where an EV with a dead battery must rely on a gas-powered truck or van to bring them a gas-powered generator to charge their batteries!  Or the airplanes that were needed to dump thousands of gallons of de-icer on the frozen, seized up windmills!  Funniest of all is probably the thieves that have found the copper wiring in the charging stations was easy and very profitable to cut off the connecting hoses to steal the copper.
What a hoot!
