Ah, it is so nice to see windmills spinning all over the landscape, killing birds with their swift strikes, and sending energy all across the land. It is so nice to see solar panels baking in the sun, and sending energy all across the land. Except when the snow comes down and covers everything. And when it is so cold even the windmills stop turning. We don’t tend to have that problem in the Great White North, where we expect cold every winter, but Texas is not having a good time of it right now.

This is why I support the idea of distributed power creation. Every city and town should have it’s own generator. They may choose to buy cheaper power from others, but they should have at least backup generators to power the city in times of emergency. This really is the least a city or town should do for its residents. Freezing homes are not comfortable, as many are learning today.
