about everyone needs to report to work even if they have no power, police, power co, fire/rescue, paper pushers, farmers, there is always something to do at where ever someone works, maybe a deeper cleaning that has been put off all year? i could fill this page with examples.

You and yours are sure making it sound like it !! By your thinking/reasoning, IF they get to their workplace that HAS power, they can probably plug in an electric buggy !!

Speaking of geo-thermal energy, I happen to have some of those geo-thermal cattle waters and I can vouch that when the wind blows and it's -20 degrees it takes a propane torch to get the cattle watered. Not sure what green energy would thaw the lines and valves?

Iceland has thermal vents from volcanic subsurface heating, not the same as the ground source cattle waterer ice controls. Takes a deep hole to ground source a waterer from freezing over, even lakes with Deep sections will freeze over.

Winds the issue, the insulation in the waterer will limit much ice, so long as the cattle keep fresh water in them. That little orifice that's at the valve freezes pretty quick if any wind pushes in through the balls on top of the water level. That's the only place they ever freeze, well unless the cattle knock the cover off. I will say that I have one that never has a problem, it's open and the valve sticks through the bottom of the tank, show up if really cold break ice and drive off, never a need to thaw valve. Richie and Mirafounts need melted into something useful when you start getting 35-40 below wind chills. Sorry I think I'm a little off topic The Flintstones didn't need electricity or gas for their cars. |

Friend of mine in Houston initially 'loved' her Tesla... after about 6 months, the battery had lost a considerable amount of capacity. Replaced battery... drove it another year and a half, same situation. Recently sold, and bought new Tesla... and this most recent storm and outage cycle left it discharged and frozen. New battery (again). Here's a nice display of what the system 'reports': Best not to consider driving one across Iowa between November and April. I'd be rather chilly, but I'd trust my Goldwing more...

Ten Amendments, Ten Commandments, and one Golden Rule solve most every problem. Citrus hand-cleaner with Pumice does the rest.

Well . in the past 3 weeks "here", I've been seeing 4-6 more TESLA vehicles on my way to work in the mornings than I have in the last 5 months !!! On a "censored"(deleted) post the other week, a guy (might have been you) said in the cold a battery vehicle could "only" get 300 MPC, that's 30 gallons worth of fossil fuel in my Ford gasser, how many $$ were spent "refining" those 30 gallons, and WHAT is the environmental impact of burning 30 gallons of gasoline ????? You guys can NOT tell me that solar/wind generation is more $$/mile ???

Freegas is one of the Libs that believes the Food comes FROM the Grocer, will always have enough, that is obvious of the posts.
No Clue takes PEOPLE behind the scenes to Move materials, gas, oil, pallets of grocer supplies, any and everything, ALL NEED to go to work regardless the power at home.
