Windmills in North Dakota (and most other northern states) are engineered to work down to -20F. The limitation comes from the lubricants and embrittlement of some of the materials.
What is the lower limit for Texas windmills?

Why Did Wind Turbines Freeze in Texas When They Work in the Arctic?
Some Texas officials have criticized wind power after turbines froze during the winter storm. But in Arctic regions, turbines are used regularly with measures in place to keep them running despite the chill.www.newsweek.com
So much fun to see whiny magats lose their s**t over brief rolling blackouts in CA, while millions of Texans have been without power for days. Such dumbf**ks. Blaming AOC instead of their own incompetent governor takes some serious stupidity.
They've had their instances of blackouts in North Dakota due to cold, happens everywhere until the proper packages are applied. Texas didn't do and are seeing the results. Their situation is obviously more extreme and dangerous. I'm sure taxpayers in TX are wondering why their dollars didn't prevent the windmills being cold weather resistant.

I'm in the home stretch of time w/kids playing youth sports and while I will deeply miss watching them play when the last of my kids hang up the boots, I will not miss the alphabet soup of leagues, teams, clubs. My oldest is long removed from the fields but different versions of the same s*it have been playing out for years and years. The bigger, wealthier, connected clubs continue to do as much as they can to increase their relevance and screw the smaller clubs as a forgotten consequence. I have had kids in small clubs you'd never recognize and a well-recognized club (mentioned in this very thread, in fact) so I have seen it from both sides. To me, it's like that high school party that was identical to the college party that was identical to the grown-up party, only the cars and booze were more expensive as we got older.
The big surprise to me is the revelation of how poorly prepared their natural gas plants were.
Who blamed AOC? This article supports what I said, better safeguards in place. WTF??They’re also working in the Arctic.

Quite the spin Dr....any thoughts on answering the original question?
Really? Preparation has never been something Texans have ever much understood as it relates to energy.

This article from the Texas Tribune should answer that for them.

Yeah sure...Sexist! Racist! White Supremacist!
Yep, sometimes profits get in the way.
Only happens in Texas, right?. Not in LA or SF suburbs.

It’s all Ted Cruz’s fault for supporting non-renewable energy.
and you are surprised? He's in Mexico sipping margaritas and chatting up the teacher's union leadership at the bar. Probably flying back with John Kerry, both laughing all the way to the bank.
Right Wing or Left Wing....all parts of the same filthy bird!
Texans are such soft whiners.
And don’t forget to drink the water!

Apparently the governor of TX believes guns don’t kill people but windmills do. Dumbf**k should be recalled.
