and why didnt people think of that being an issue?

I didnt realize texas had a lot of wind power.

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
    - the tiny sidewalk plows in Maine always cracked me up. -- nm - colin Feb 15, 07:07 1
      - 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
