How many weeks did the wind turbines in Texas stand idle? Wonder how they got their electricity when it was down for so long? Oh, it came from coal plants? n/s

How many weeks did the wind turbines in Texas stand idle?

I'm going to guess that the coast of France has a much higher AVERAGE wind speed than the coast of Texas. So does my state, Washington. There's this thing about wind off the Atlantic and Pacific. Virtually all the time at this latitude.
