still wonder what happened to shut the power off in tx. no way the demand for kilowatts was higher than a 97 degree day with 92% humidity

Can someone explain wind turbines "Freezing"? I am looking out the window at 30plus and another 200 in this county and have never even heard of one freezing. Maybe different oils in the transformers? Did have one catch on fire behind my house-it was pretty spectacular!

Cant tell me there is not enough regular power plants for when the wind don't blow anyway. Nothing making any sense. Starting with it has been cold there in the past. Many times.

So here is something I don't understand. If the house is cold and the water stops running,its frozen. Shut off the supply valve and it wont flood the house. You'll still have frozen maybe burst pipes but at least it wont be flooded too.
