At what temperature would you consider not turning on the carb heat for low power settings?

Also, this is a really novice question, but I don't have much experience in non-fuel injected singles... if carb ice forms due to the fast airflow, then wouldn't high power settings make it more likely for icing? Why is carb ice more likely to form at low power settings/below the green arc?

Thanks
