Wrong. The freezing up and shutdowns occurred because of overload trips when wind capacity dropped dramatically. If 15 - 20% of capacity had not been lost, no overloads and trips.

I'm sure it did.

Then you also know that it was the overload trips of plants in West Texas that caused the natural gas pumping station supplying fuel to other plants in Texas to shutdown, therefore creating an instant natural gas shortage shutting down more plants. ERCOT did a poor job of managing the dominos, but wind was the first domino to fall. If not for wind, the other ones would not have fallen.
