We normally are below zero for part of the Winter and have never had electric blackouts. Including the last couple weeks. Good news is the cold reinforces your immune system to help fight off all of your Covid 19 infections.
The windmills going offline caused the rest to overload. Try to be informed.
Which state and does your state have 25% of its power source from wind? If so they revert to other means when those blades ice up. Texas didn't because they don't normally get a state wide arctic blast and we're paying for it now.
Of the power shortfall that hit Texas, over 80% was due to problems at coal- and gas-fired plants," PolitiFact reported.

Of course proponents of green energy are going to defend it. When they've taken oil and gas completely away, and no coal fired plants either, let's see how well wind and solar keep people warm or keep air conditioning running in the summer. While you're at it hope all the mines needed to get the materials needed for lithium batteries, as well as all the disposal of spent batteries doesn't hurt the planet. Hope those countries with large deposits of lithium and rare earth metals treat their miners right. Don't use child labor. Yeah, the Left has it all worked out.Of the power shortfall that hit Texas, over 80% was due to problems at coal- and gas-fired plants," PolitiFact reported.
Don't blame wind turbines for Texas' historic power outages
Conservative politicians are blaming renewable energy for Texas' catastrophic power failures. The state's electric grid operator and independent experts say otherwise.Ttku..Minn. Officials Say Blame Planning, Not Green Energy, For Texas' Power Catastrophe
Some conservatives are blaming the environmental movement, insisting that frozen wind turbines show the limits of alternative energy sources. Minnesota energy leaders are debunking those claims, saying the problems in Texas are a failure of planning, not energy sources.
Bro, Texas has a completely independent grid system. This is all on Texas and their leadership.
I’m from Texas. I ain’t whining about
., I was just born of a different fabric I’ll make do and be comfortable no matter what… To the point where others are uncomfortable
Lol.
Ok bot. Got anything else?
Everything I posted still applies. As for Texas, it was pointed out that Oklahoma and Iowa have 25% or more of their power from wind too. Texas is more than twice the size of those two states combined, and has 4 times the population of those two states combined. And was hit with Arctic temperatures in an area greater than the whole state of California. Was 8° here Tuesday morning near Houston. Many areas colder. Can only imagine if California was entirely blanketed in snow and ice what the screaming would be like.
Better news for you, a new study shows the China virus doesn't attack dumbasses, you're safe.
I'm safe too!
and our currently oily system somehow isnt a failure?

Facts have never changed @vantexan’s mind. He wants to believe it was the fault of wind turbines so that’s what he’ll choose to believe. Reality has no bearing on that choice.Of the power shortfall that hit Texas, over 80% was due to problems at coal- and gas-fired plants," PolitiFact reported.
