Coping with Record Snow!!



As the White House disappears in the latest blizzard blow and FEMA is shutdown along with the rest of Washington, DC, let's recall what type of energy source allows us to cope with mother Nature's fury.

Is it solar panels? Windmills? Biomass? Geo-thermal energy? NO!!

This blizzard is testing the whole mid-Atlantic.

What works in these conditions is the good old-fashioned internal combustion engine burning fossil fuels! Whether it is a snow plow, snow blower, SUV, Ambulance, whatever, it works when your solar panels are buried in 4 feet of snow.

And there are thousands of households thankfully warmed by fuel oil, natural gas, propane, and coal. All fossil fuels.

So when some environmental wacko tries to talk you out of your favorite fossil fuel, just smile and tell them "you first!"
