You are missing the point. Water can condense in the lines during temperature extremes. I personally know of several roads in my locale where the people at the bottom of a long hill experienced water coming into their homes via their gas lines from condensate, and on several similar roads. On several occasions, froze.Nothing....for it to be used as a fuel all of the water has to be removed....so there's nothing to freeze.
"Texas is, by rhetoric, anti-renewables . . . "
By rhetoric? What the heck does that even mean? Where did that professor get that idea? From some European anti-US convention he attended?
Texas has long been out front in wind power. Whenever I drive west, I always pass by large windmill farms.
The problem when we had that freeze was too much alternative energy, not not enough.
Ok, sounds good.Okay.....this Winter let's shut down all of the coal burning and hydro-electric plants and just run everyone's heat off of wind and solar.
What was never reported was that Texas had it's power { Electric utilityWind turbines didn't fare so well in Feb. 2021--they weren't much help at all in that weather event.

What kind of gas were they using?You are missing the point. Water can condense in the lines during temperature extremes.

Ehanol may be good for Farmers who plant corn but never for thoseWhat kind of gas were they using?
Ethanol?
I think somebody hasn't been doing proper maintenance on their systems or they're using a mixture that they shouldn't.
At any rate....freezing of the gas lines shouldn't occur if they're doing dehydration like they're supposed to.
By regulation there never should be any water in the gas lines.
At worst there would be condensation on the outside of pipes with no insulation.
This can happen on HVAC systems where the suction line wasn't properly insulated.
This is what happens when you have folks that don't know what they're doing making the laws.Ehanol may be good for Farmers who plant corn but never for those
running gasoline engines.They gum-up gas engines big time.
Plus we're on course to have the Government Up Ethanol to
15 % vs. the standard 5 %.
Natural Gas, dude....for home heating and cooking.What kind of gas were they using?

As I said before....there shouldn't be any moisture in the lines. That's how you get rusted pipes.Natural Gas, dude....for home heating and cooking.
Condensation would form on the inside with warmer NG and colder ground on the pipes outside.....physics.
It will if there's enough condensation draining down from a hill, a mile or so long. It has happened. Condensate migrates into the house gas lines and kills the flame. I know people where this has happened and more than once.As I said before....there shouldn't be any moisture in the lines. That's how you get rusted pipes.
If it's melting ice and it's leaking into your house then you have a leaky wall in your basement or crawlspace.
It won't cut off the flow of natural gas.
But unlike previous extreme weather events in Texas which led to deadly blackouts, the grid is holding up remarkably well this week. Several experts told CNN that it's owed in large part to strong performances from wind and solar, which generated 27 gigawatts of electricity during Sunday's peak demand -- close to 40% of the total needed.

People don't realize extreme heat makes for a huge lack of wind. I think wind months are spring and fall, when global cooling and heating are on the move.I actually LOVE to bust this propaganda bubble. Especially when it's CNN. Here's the Current wind map of Texas at 10PM Central time. If ya need help reading WIND BARBS -- here's the key.

At the moment - outside of MAYBE 20 knot wind in an isolated thundercell - the ENTIRE STATE HAS NO MEANINGFUL wind energy. And in regards to what happened for 4 or 6 hours YESTERDAY - the EXTREME UNRELIABILITY and flakiness of relying on TOO MUCH wind in Texas will literally pile up body bags.

Game OVER --- NO SUN -- NO WIND --- EQUALS DEAD PEOPLE. Dont be stupid. Dont be a propaganda parrot. Figure this out for yourself.

Why are drip legs required in some locales then?
OK.
But first let's shut down all the renewable sources and watch the grid collapse.
You're arguing for using horse and buggy technology.
