ASK ANTHONY: Why is wind direction identified as where it is coming from?

Read full article: ASK ANTHONY: Why is wind direction identified as where it is coming from?

Did you know weather vanes have been keeping us in the know about wind direction for more than 2,000 years? The first known weather vane was installed in 48 BC on top of the Tower of the Winds in Athens, Greece. Fast forward to the Middle Ages, and weather vanes started popping up on churches across Europe. The most popular design? The good old rooster. Here’s the cool part: the arrow on a weather vane points to the direction the wind is coming from. So, if it’s pointing north, the wind is blowing from the north. That’s why we call it a “north wind”! Simple, but brilliant.

He made it clear to us he was in favor of changes being implemented in Texas construction. “We could do a lot better with better building codes in Texas and better enforcement of the building codes that do exist,” he said. Thompson said spray foam is a big help during a freeze. Ad“I think that spray foam insulation and pex pipe is the way to go,” he said. “The spray foam used to be really expensive but now it’s come way down because it’s getting used so much,” said Thompson.

No, frozen wind turbines aren’t the main culprit for Texas’ power outages

Read full article: No, frozen wind turbines aren’t the main culprit for Texas’ power outages

“Texas is a gas state,” said Michael Webber, an energy resources professor at the University of Texas at Austin. While Webber said all of Texas’ energy sources share blame for the power crisis, the natural gas industry is most notably producing significantly less power than normal. We didn’t run out of natural gas, but we ran out of the ability to get natural gas. At least they show us where idiots live.”While wind power skeptics claimed the week's freeze means wind power can't be relied upon, wind turbines — like natural gas plants — can be "winterized," or modified to operate during very low temperatures. Natural gas power plants usually don’t have very much fuel storage on site, experts said.
