This Picture is a Metaphor of the Complete Insanity of the Climate Change Debateby STEVE MACDONALD In the attached picture, recently taken in Sweden, freezing cold weather has caused the rotor blades of a wind turbine to ice up bringing the blades to a complete stop. To fix the “problem” a helicopter is employed (burning aviation fuel) to spray hot water (which is heated in the frigid temperatures using a truck equipped with a 260 kW oil burner) on the blades of the turbine to de-ice them. The aviation fuel, the diesel for the truck, and the oil burned to heat the water, could produce more electricity (at the right time to meet demand) than the unfrozen wind turbine could ever produce. (Before it freezes up again). The attached picture is a metaphor of the complete insanity of the climate change debate.

Have you named the slopes that are closed? And since there are plenty of slopes available in NY and CT, why does it matter ... clearly, the climate hasn't killed skiing.
