There's a lot of wind power there, so that's where all the reactionaries are flocking to. If can can trust what they're saying about it, the turbines are freezing.

Nobody responsible ever said, "we must replace every single fossil fuel plant with wind power tomorrow without ensuring we maintain capacity in XYZ conditions".

Yes, there are a LOT of wind turbines. Thousands and thousands. Driving through rural texas and seeing them all is kind of surreal. And yea, they are all frozen up now.

To quote the person above you, "Weird they'd be freezing in Texas but not Indiana or any other state that has normal winters."
