Brief Summary:
Minnesota decided to use wind turbines to provide power, but have been experiencing problems with this plan. Apparently with the weather being too cold this winter, some of the wind turbines can't bear it, and most have just been standing still without movement.

Short Response:
The people in charge of this decision to use the wind turbine to provide power should overthink any possible problem that could occur, because this seems to be something that should have been an apparent problem. If the area gets bitterly cold, maybe wind turbines shouldn't be installed to provide power.
