Thanks for this insight.
I would suspect that Coal and Natural Gas generation plants use a lot of water for cooling. When the plant is designed to dump as much extra heat as possible, as cheaply as possible (for 100-degree days and ~200-degree hot water), things start to fall over when the cooling water freezes in the uninsulated cooling lines.
Or, it's pretty much lack of winterization and lack of a plan for this kind of cold.
Just speculating.
