[QUOTE="El Pablo, post: 3525158, member: 1563"] People tend to forget man has been harnessing the wind for eons, and used it for power well before fossil fuels. Also, windmills exist in cold areas yet don't have the problems tx has. We live in the Saudi Arabia of wind, to try to not hardness that for power is just dumb. To only try to depend on that is also dumb. TX wasn't depending on wind generation for this anyway, it's a complete red herring. Tx is a cluster of their own making. Half their production from coal, nuclear, and natural gas plants was down for various reasons. A big one being they couldn't get natural gas to the plants, and didn't store much reserve at plants. They didn't winterize their freaking pipes, they learned nothing from 2011. They also didn't winterize their wind generators or most other power plants. Props can work in winter, otherwise, air planes couldn't fly most the time, much less at high altitudes. Deicing was solved a very long time ago. Tx chose not to use it. I'm just glad TX isn't on the grid with SPP. Their problem would have been our problem. [/QUOTE]
