Attempt to Combat Global Warming Falls Victim to Cold Sting of Irony

Written by Bret Baier, FoxNews | 09 February 2010

Eleven green-energy wind turbines in Minnesota, which are supposed to provide environmentally safe electricity and fight global warming, cannot operate because they are frozen stiff.

The Star-Tribune reports the machines were supposed to be spinning by Christmas, but so far have been motionless. The state's power agency says cold hydraulic fluid has turned to gel and oil lubricants are getting sluggish.

North St. Paul City Manager Wally Wysopal says, "it's been a little embarrassing to have it not turning on the windiest of days."

The company that installed the turbines, which came from California, says it was not consulted on "climate compatibility."
