posted on Twitter showing windmills in operation in Antarctica.

Also, as you enter Buffalo from the south, you can see a row of windmills on the Lake Erie shoreline. As most people know, Buffalo gets its share of heavy snowstorms, freezing rain, blizzards, and very low temps. How strange that Buffalo's windmills work but in Texas their governor says they break down in snow and cold weather.

Maybe people in cold weather states could start a Twitter trend with photos of windmills operating in winter.

...to be a bigger liar than Rush. At 4:48 in the Chris Hayes video, Tucker Carlson tells an incredible whopper of a lie. You have to be dumber than a box of rocks to believe this bullshit. It infuriates me that he would attempt to make political hay of our suffering. People have died because of the Republican mismanagement of this state and our power needs.
