re: #9 lawhawk

Blackouts across Texas didn’t get as bad as they were because of wind power systems going offline.

Nope. It’s what happened when 40% of fossil fuel plant generating capacity went offline due to the weather.

I am curious were the problems with generation or transmission? Up here in the north east when power goes out it is usually due to powerlines going down and transformers blowing up, not generally issues at the plant.
