If you add up the raw materials and energy needed to mine, manufacture, transport, install, maintain, and recycle all those wind turbines there would be very little difference in the carbon footprint for a wind generator as for a gas generator. Just like the all electric cars. You have to drive one for 50K miles before the carbon footprint equals a gas engine car. After 50K miles there is only 17% difference in the carbon footprint. That doesn't include recycling all those Lithium Ion batteries which will be an environmental nightmare.
Sure the gas turbines might have been frozen and the gas supply slow from the cold. But that is because they have just been sitting there idle for too long. Texas switched from a base load design to taking whatever the wind turbines could supply. Now there is no base load infrastructure to handle the load when the wind stops blowing or it gets too cold to run them. Wind generators sound like a good idea because the wind energy is free. However, there are so many expensive moving parts and pieces in a wind generator they are expensive to operate even though the energy is free. It still cost 3 to 4 times as much to make electricity with a wind generator as it does with a gas generator even though the energy is free. People don't see a smoke stack coming off a wind turbine, so they think it is clean energy when it is just as big a carbon footprint as a gas generator.
I would sleep well living close to a NG tank farm. But I would hate to live anywhere close to a single tank of hydrogen being stored. I am all for clean energy. But you should read the fine print on how those wind turbines work, not just the political hype being put out there. Solar plants have a lot less moving parts and will have a better cost to output ratio, but storage is still the big issue.
All this talk about clean "renewable" energy and stuff won't make any difference if we don't address the real problem which is over-population. You can't save enough energy, grow enough food, supply enough clean water, or deal with the garbage from 7 billion people as it is. There is no way we can survive with twice as many people on this planet. But nobody wants to talk about population control. I am not talking about killing off any of the existing people, just teach people not to screw the planet into oblivion, which is what we are doing. Any talk about saving the planet is useless if we don't confront the real problem which is over-population. There won't be any food to eat, water to drink, air to breath, much less any fuel for infrastructure if we don't address the population problem first.
