World's ‘solar and wind capital’ freezing due to snow
- _Microft 6y agoThat's ... wrong? The only reports about people being cold inGermany were when parts of cities lost district heating but this was heat coming from conventional plants. Solar and wind power generation are lower than usual, but nobody is freezing here.

So they can't import enough power to make up for it. And it's much colder with more snow than usual. Texas is experiencing conditions more typical of the upper mid west.
