The problem is larger than the power mix. Wind turbines & gas pipes can be winterized (which still hasn't been done yet). However, the Texas Interconnect is purposefully isolated because it does not want to be federally regulated and join the Eastern Interconnect. That is absolutely atrocious IMO. El Paso had power (West Interconnect) while the rest of the state went into the stone age. Crazy demand can happen in the summer as well. San Antonio almost every summer has rolling brownouts due to high demand from the heat. Cooling centers are a regular occurance.
