I can look out my kitchen window and see wind turbines from one of the big wind farms up here, and the blades are all twirling away. Guessing it's the ones further south where it got a lot of ice that are crapped out?
They are going to spend more time, resources (fossil fuels) repairing all the broken windmills. It looks like the ones not working are actually broken and ruined from what I have heard. Not fixable since they are not made for -8 degrees and can't be re-furbished.
If you are near an airport or major medical hub there won't be any blackout. I live near both. Cranking my heat up all day. It's not going out around here.
Some people paid more in their plans to be exempt from blackouts. Now they are saying no. It's an "emergency". No it's not. They are just too fucking cheap to honor the agreement. The energy is readily available but they will lose money so they said fuck that.

I’m in north central Texas. Just north of me they are experiencing blackouts. So far where I am there have been no interruptions in power.

I'm up in the Panhandle and no interruptions here either.
maybe...I am in val verde county and it is lights out
Got any non-fake news links that describe what’s going on reasonably well?
I’m in central Texas. We’ve had two power outages, planned. But they only lasted for 30 min.
How many pipelines are in Texas? Just curious.
damn so TX has power like CA now ........
Rolling blackouts started at 0130 CST, but that didn't last long as power has been out since.
Texas produces more energy than it uses. There's no reason to have rolling blackouts there.
