“Natural gas does not freeze”
Oh it sure does when it has water vapor mixed in from the fracking and drilling process . Texas requires 24 million barrels per day. Transmission lines froze and was only able to deliver 12-14 million per day and plants had to be shut down.
This is why in my great state above the largest gas deposits in the country we have water separators..something Texas felt they did not need.
Read this aerticle and it explains fully why your state is out of electric power.

Stick to something you have knowledge of. This isn’t one of those things.
Water from drilling and fracing is removed from the well during the well cleanup and test phases before putting the well into commercial production. Intrained water from the gas reservoir is removed at the gas processing plant, as well as other fractions of petroleum liquids (propane, butane, and heavier). Once the gas from the well is processed, methane for industrial and residential use is shipped to end users via pipeline. Gas is measured in MMCF, BCF, and TCF, not barrels. I can believe some of the water knockout equipment failed in freezing temperatures at the gas plants and at the wellhead, but natural gas in pipelines does not freeze.
