   FREDERICTON — A $200-million wind farm in northern New Brunswick is frozen solid, cutting off a potential supply of renewable energy for NB Power.

   The 25-kilometre stretch of wind turbines, located 70 kilometres northwest of Bathurst, N.B. has been completely shutdown for several weeks due to heavy ice covering the blades.

   GDF SUEZ Energy, the company that owns and operates the site, is working to return the windmills to working order, a spokeswoman says.

   “We can’t control the weather,” Julie Vitek said in an interview from company headquarters in Houston, Texas.

   Glaciers again……..melting……on top of a volcano…..in the tropics….

   I’m certain there’s been no land use changes nearby, they would have told us of that, wouldn’t they?

     Ask the locals, “would you prefer the glaciers melting or advancing towards your village?”

   So, basically, for all they know the volcano that is underneath could be warming the glaciers – Oh wait, we’re talking in AGW terms. A volcano warming up anything? That’s stupid, only people and cow farts do.
