But Texas is looking sad right now, for sure. There's a lot of schadenfreude happening, but plenty of time to deal with that after people's power is back on. Right now it's literally a life or death situation.

quote:Texas produces more natural gas than any other state but most of their power comes from wind.
quote:wind accounts for just 10 percent of the power in Texas generated during the winter. And the loss of power to the grid caused by shutdowns of thermal power plants, primarily those relying on natural gas, dwarfed the dent caused by frozen wind turbines, by a factor of five or six.
