McMurdo station in freakin Antarctica uses wind turbines. They run just fine in the cold. Texas utilities just didn't want to pay for proper weather proofing.
Backups are backups. They can be fossil fuel based, it's fine and I don't know who is arguing that it's not ok.
We can't optimize for natural disasters at the expense of all the other times there isn't a natural disaster.
