Here is a good thread of what is going on. Wind may be an issue, but the delivery of natural gas is causing major problems.
Next time find an unbiased source and not a career academic who's entire life has been spent studying slanted science in an effort to force feed our country an agenda.

Then his comments make more sense and deserve some clarification.
First, he is correct that there are currently problems with power generation both on gas and wind. But to imply by saying that there are "some" problems with wind and that they are much less than gas is misleading at best.
First, not "some". Fully 50% of wind turbines in west Texas are currently offline due to icing, and the number is rising.
Second, the only reason it is "second" as an issue to the gas issues is that thankfully we have much less wind generated power than gas generated power. The problem would have been magnified exponentially if we were MORE dependent on wind generated power.
