Is there a way to winterize Natural gas wellheads to prevent them from freezing up in extreme cold. The limited natural gas delivery caused problems for homes and businesses that heat by natural gas. Heat in an office, plant, or school building in extreme cold is vital to prevent the pressurized fire suppression pipes from bursting.

Add to that, no heat in an all electric home, because natural gas flow has been restricted to power generation plants, because of frozen natural gas wellheads.

And then, there’s the power generation plants, of all kinds, that need to be winterized.

That’s my 2 1/2 cents...

That was not the problem.

ERCOT had the power shut off for some NG compressing stations which were feeding the power plants generating the electicity which made central heating and cooling systems work.

Most places had NG where it was normally available, but no AC power to run the control system and the fans for the central heating and air conditioning system.
