Now I’m not sure what to believe. The article OP posted is what I heard at the beginning of the outage, but then other news reports refuted it saying natural gas and coal plants failed more so than wind turbines. They also said natural gas wells shut down as did gas pipelines (maybe pumping stations were the cause of pipeline shutdowns?). I also read wind accounts for a much smaller percentage of TX power in the winter (about 10-20%?), and only about half of the turbines froze whereas more than half of gas, coal and nuclear plants closed.

Either way, I do agree that the lack of winterization was the main cause for the outages. Hopefully we do something about it this time, unlike those times after 1989 and 2011 when we still ignored the warnings.
