In Reply to: Compared to 64% coal/gas it is. Obviously frozen wind turbines weren't the main problem. nt posted by Rick W on March 4, 2021 at 15:23:00:
The problem is that there was no reason at the time to buy more expensive solutions to deal with N. Dakota winter weather. California has the same problem if we didn't get solar power for a few days because we have no real backup if our neighbors don't have power to spare which they didn't last summer.
If California hadn't dismantled nuclear and natural gas plants, we'd have a backup plan.
