North Dakota Shut Down -- Global Warming Continues To Take Its Toll -- January 3, 2017

 Updates

Later, 1:41 p.m. Central Time: Al Gore's Inconvenient Truth came out in 2006; he won the Nobel Peace Prize for same in 2007. It's now been ten full years that "we" have been told that the science is settled.

In these past ten years, the Department of Defense never converted any of it's on-base vehicle fleet to EVs. For example, even at the smallest Air Force installation, there were generally two or three ambulances when I was in the USAF. Saying that these ambulances averaged six miles/day would be generous. They all should have been converted over to EVs by now. Same with all the on-base law enforcement sedans, probably as many as a dozen on even the smallest installations. The command staff at each installation generally each had their own vehicle for on-base use and again, none were converted to EV over the past decade.

The USPS has not converted it's vehicles to EVs, a fleet that should have been converted long ago.

Many more examples, but this tells me all I need to know about the government's -- and the past eight years, the #1 global warming cheerleader, President Obama's -- commitment to preventing global warming.

But the US government under President Obama was targeting cow farts.

Thunder Spirit wind farm to expand. Over at SeekingAlpha:
  • Allete says it will team with MDU Resources' Montana-Dakota Utilities unit to expand the Thunder Spirit wind farm in North Dakota, reaching the 150 MW permitted capacity of the facility Allete Clean Energy developed in 2014-15
  • ALE also secures a 25-year power purchase agreement with MDU to purchase energy from the expansion near Hettinger, N.D. 
  • MDU will have the option to purchase the expansion upon completion, as it did with the first phase of Thunder Spirit
