All the turbines here in ontario have a "cold weather pack" that keeps
the generators from freezing up in ice storms etc. The Texans didn't
buy that option - - and the generators froze up


Sounds likely. They're cowboys, frontiersmen. They can get along
without electricity until it gets warmer. They can heat the yard by
burning cattle carcasses.


There's probably local Texas coverage about this, but I cringe
at the huge number of cattle (and lots of other animals) who
are dying out in the cold...
