- i saw a family member posting on FB that the blackouts are because all the wind turbines are frozen solid - tRuMaN Feb 15, 06:52 6
  - plenty of very cold climates have wind turbines and don't experience this. i think this goes into the same reason Texas only has 24 plow trucks - colin Feb 15, 06:55 5
    - we were talking about this yest. a lot of states that have very few plow trucks have plow attachments for garbage trucks, so the numbers are often - amanda jeans Feb 15, 06:57 4
      - Most of our plows are garbage trucks with plow attachments. -- (edited) - Krusty Feb 15, 07:06 2

        I don't think I've seen them. We have a few small ones that look like the vehicles used to move small pallets. We need many more but there's an issue - Krusty Feb 15, 07:12
