Correct.? IIRC the orifice size for propane is smaller.? Not long after
we moved in I pulled one of them and somebody has welded them closed
then drilled them out to the smaller size.? I also ordered a kit to
convert it with new orifices and some sort of springs and things for the
valve or regulator on the unit. I have not installed them yet.

It has 2 of them, one in each corner.? I figure I would only run 1 at a

Yup, different orifices that will be smaller as propane has a higher BTU
content than natural gas. The springs are for the demand regulator, as they
will alter the pressure for operation on propane as well. Just unscrew the
cover, remove the old spring, pop in the new one, screw the cover back on.

At least on propane they put out 20,000 BTU more than on natural gas. Those
look like the one I had in my three car insulated garage in Wisconsin. If I
fired it up full blast it was like a sweat lodge within an hour.

A guy on a fakebook group says this is his car that he just took down to
copart to sell.? WTF was he thinking.? Anyway, guy says he is looking to
get $3500 for it.? In that case, with auction fees that will put it at
around $4500.

Nearly half of Texas' installed wind power generation capacity has been offline
because of frozen wind turbines in West Texas, according to Texas grid
operators.

I would guess it's pretty dangerous to operate them with unbalanced blades.
And icing will greatly reduce power output, just like airplane wings lose lift
with icing.

Yep. Thorium. The REAL clean energy.
To bad most politicians in charge of such things are absolute morons,
controlled by and for lobbiests, and not the good of the citizenry.
Once in a while the politicians make a mistake in our favor, but not very
often. When they do it gets "corrected" right quick.
Too cynical?

Actually it is caused by a bifurcation of the polar vortex due to sunspots or
the lack thereof. Ocean currents, el ni?o, la ni?a and such play a role too.
