Frozen wind farms were just a small piece of Texas' power woes
Do not point too many fingers at Texas wind turbines, because they are not the main reason broad swathes of the state have been plunged into darkness. While ice has forced some turbines to shut down just as a brutal cold wave drives record electricity demand, wind only comprises 25% of the state's energy mix this time of year. The majority of outages overnight were plants fuelled by natural gas, coal, and nuclear, which together make up more than two-thirds of power generation during winter.
