The push to go Green at any cost would leave America dependent on weather dependent intermittent electricity from wind turbines and solar panels. This would be an energy disaster
Some countries learned something that the warmer countries did not: wind turbines can freeze in winter. Not only do they cease to put out power in very cold weather, they actually need to be heated. 1
Richard Littlejohn points out in the UK there are days when the contribution of the forests of wind turbines had been precisely nothing. As the temperature plummeted, the turbines have had to be heated to prevent them seizing up. Consequently, they had been consuming more electricity than they generated. Even on a good day they rarely worked above a quarter of their theoretical capacity. And in high winds they had to be switched off altogether to prevent damage. 2
