A hilux/ranger/nivara etc would be considered small. It's mad they think of a hilux ranger nivara as small.big 6.0 beasts cruising about fair play to them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think that you ought to do a bit more research into the facts. ...A few of the turbines have frozen up but the majority are working. The reason that the ones that did freeze up was that they aint designed to operate in sub zero temps is because it doesn't get down to these low temps in Texas. Wind turbines work in Sweeden. Most of Texas electricity is generated by coal and gas. It's just an extraordinarilycold spell that their not geared up for. Fact check: Frozen wind turbines don't deserve all the blame for Texas blackouts WWW.USATODAY.COM Wind turbines produce a fraction of Texas' power and aren't winterized. Accusations that frozen windmills are to blame for blackouts lack context. f**k sake I didn’t think people on here were taking everything people wrote as literal ... I’m not a politician up for scrutiny on everything I write. Ok then some of the wind turbines in Texas froze and thousands were without heating. Is that better 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This man gets it. -20c sunny no wind but high humidity is a killer -30c sunny no wind low humidity is a breeze we had -38c temp -52c with wind chill last week you could walk briefly around in t shirt and hoodie. Face and hands start to burn. ive suffered frost bite once, fck it hurts bad. when we have prolonged-30c then within a day it goes to -5c, it’s boiling hot. Hence why we say t shirt weather. problem is Texans ain’t climatized to this type of weather. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
