    Cold does not affect wind generators (other than being more efficient airflow through them). Ice does. Ice on the propeller blades require the machine be shut down, no matter where it is.

    No, they froze. The blades were covered with ice. You cannot operate any wind generator with ice covered blades. You will destroy the machine.

    Wind generators can freeze up anywhere there is an ice storm.

    Power plants do not need 'weatherization'. Boilers fed by natural gas, oil, or coal do not need any special treatment for cold temperatures.

    What does this statement have to do with power plants??? Pivot fallacy.
