I lived around hundreds of those windmills for several years and never saw any of them freeze up. And never saw helicopters spraying blades either.

Talk about pissing in to the wind. Are they planning to deice thousands of these things? Figure what, one chemical hopper per blade x 1 hour per windmill. These exist for as far as they eye can see for hours and hours of driving in north texas.

Texas, Oklahoma and a few other states in the SW have these for miles and miles along stretches of interstates.... Amazingly most of the people along those routes wreak no benefit energy wise from them. They go off int9 the grid for more metropolitan areas.....

They have stated that 50% of the wind energy grid was out of service due to frozen wind turbines. That wind energy grid was approximately 25% of the energy supply in Texas. Guess the pic of the helicopter spraying stuff was actually from Sweden a few years ago and they were spraying hot water on theirs at the time.

(y) Power plants can stockpile coal, the same isn't true for wind.
