[QUOTE="HiredHand, post: 3768458, member: 2469"] Did you really fall for that bag of horse manure about windmills freezing up being the reason why people died? [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.texastribune.org/2021/02/16/texas-wind-turbines-frozen/[/URL] “ An official with the Electric Reliability Council of Texas said Tuesday afternoon that 16 gigawatts of renewable energy generation, mostly wind generation, were offline. [B]Nearly double that, 30 gigawatts, had been lost from thermal sources, which includes gas, coal and nuclear energy.[/B] By Wednesday, those numbers had changed as more operators struggled to operate in the cold: 45 gigawatts total were offline, with 28 gigawats from thermal sources and 18 gigawatts from renewable sources, ERCOT officials said. “Texas is a gas state,” said Michael Webber, an energy resources professor at the University of Texas at Austin.” [/QUOTE]
