Original Note:
Many countries with renewable energy production have icy winters. They use commercial cold weather gear to protect those systems and keep them operational. ERCOT and the State of Texas failed to ensure those protections were required or in place, even tho aware of the risk. https://www.forbes.com/sites/scottcarpenter/2021/02/16/why-wind-turbines-in-cold-climates-dont-freeze-de-icing-and-carbon-fiber/amp/ https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-02-16/sweden-shows-texas-how-to-keep-turbines-spinning-in-icy-weather
