NYS has a pretty diverse grid, almost no coal. Like less than 0.5%, if I recall correctly.
We’re something close to 50% nat gas, 25% hydro (there’s a big waterfall in the state), and 25% nuclear.

Texas got reamed last ice storm. The wind turbines would not work.
Don't y'all have those pretty frequently?

Often enough, but it probably helps that electricity demand is roughly 20% less in the winter.
There’s almost no electric heat up here. Even electric stoves are uncommon.

Windmills don't work on skyscrapers for several reasons, I think the big one is turbulence.
I wonder if we'll start to see buildings designed to catch the wind. There is a lot of wind 1,000 feet up.
