I was looking all over for the “/sarc” or “parody site” disclaimer, but alas.

First of all, I’ve never heard of West Texas being without wind EVER and second, I cannot imagine this being a source of electric power for anybody. Kinda like solar panels that don’t work on cloudy days in Seattle or something?

It’s a supplementary source. Notice it was a drop in wind plus other sources not providing the power that caused this.

Did you know when the wind speed goes up there is a point when wind generators shut down?

They also shut down when they have freezing rain.
