The blackouts were due to winds dying down and the generation not meeting the forecast of wind generation during the Arctic blast.

Are you sure that’s true?
I’ve read that wind is not calculated to add ANYTHING to the base gen output.
If they have wind, they use it instead of whatever, but the base capacity has to be in place.

Each windmill should have a squirrel cage rotor on it so when the wind dies you can grab a lib greenie, put them in the cage, and make them run to turn the generator.

That is false. I don’t like it when Freepers post falsehoods.
