Frozen wind turbines was a microscopic part of the problem compared to almost half of the fossil fuel natural gas plants being offline due to severe cold and freeze.

That too. Coal piles froze. Cooling pumps froze. Water vapor in the natural gas production pipelines froze because it's all fracked.

But if they were connected to the East and West interconnections they probably could have rode it out.

So... what? Install heating equipment around the pipes. It would have been avoidable, it just would have cost money.

So... what, what? All I said was the natural gas plants freezing is what caused the main problem, not wind turbines.
