I am not totally against wind power. It is not cost effective without subsidies. It isn’t very green given that blades are not recyclablePutting windmills in an oil state is stupid. Putting them in any state is stupid.
Maybe part of the desert is OK for windmills. But the failure to insure that pipes were strong enough to handle cold or hot temperatures is totally on TEXAS. Remember, NATURAL GAS PIPELINES ALSO FAILED. So that's on Texas politicians or civil servants for FAILING AT THEIR JOB.Putting windmills in an oil state is stupid.

I read where natural gas is delivered on demand in Texas because the state is covered with gas. The pumps failed which was due to a lack of electricity. Up north, natural gas is piped into homes and businesses, so we never experience failures from electric pumps. We have furnaces, not electric heat pumps. The ultimate problem in Texas is two-fold. One: Texas has a grid of their own. It is run by a state agency ERCOT. I understand that this is not well received by the federal government that wants to have control. The government would not grant Texas permission to increase energy output from fossil fuels to prepare for the impending storms. It was a way to break ERCOT and make Texas submit. The problem is politics and the use of tax rebates to promote green energy which is not reliable.Maybe part of the desert is OK for windmills.
