Wait I'm not sure I'm following the plot.
This entire disaster was caused by the fact that none of the power generation in Texas is winterized. Then natural gas turbine power was suggested as an emergency fallback. Then it was brought up that natural gas had frozen in all the already existing infrastructure. You're suggesting that you simply winterize the emergency natural gas turbines?
Why don't they just winterize the normal power infrastructure?
> This is something unlike current solar and wind technologies. Which can't be "winterized" in the same way.
Solar, sure. Put some snow on it and it doesn't work. But wind works everywhere. Cold, ice, snow, doesn't matter.
