Its a concession that no liberal would ever make in the same situation.That's an understatement
No one else seems to have addressed this...but did you read your own article? "Green Energy" isn't anything to do with it, it's because the power grid hasn't been expanded from those greener sources of energy to meet demand. It's like having a windmill on your house but having it plugged into just the porch light.I guess Texas was just too cheap to winterize. I wonder if they allow major airlines to de ice?
Why Wind Turbines In Cold Climates DonĆ¢t Freeze: De-Icing And Carbon Fiber
Turbines in colder climates are typically equipped with de-icing and other tools, such as built-in heating. In Texas, it's not usually necessary.www.forbes.com
So itās fair to ask: why donāt wind turbines fail all the time in colder climates, such as Canada, Sweden or the American Midwest?
The answer, in short, is that turbines in colder places are typically equipped with de-icing and other tools, such as built-in heating. In Texas, where the weather is almost never this cold, they usually are not.
āCold weather kits can keep [wind turbines] operating when temperatures plunge. This is the norm in colder states and in Europe,ā said Samuel Brock, a spokesman for the American Clean Power Association. āHistorically in Texas, given the warm climate, it hasnāt been necessary.ā
Sweden is a good example why rushing to green energy is a BAD idea:
"On Thursday, one of the coldest days of the winter so far, peak power prices in the south of Sweden were almost four times higher than in the northern regions."
....
"Bottlenecks have meant that power generated from the countryās vast hydroelectric resources and an expansion of wind power in the north hasnāt been able to reach consumers in the south. Instead, they are increasingly dependent on imports of fossil-fuel generated electricity from Germany, Denmark and Poland."
.....
"In the meantime the chorus of complaint in Sweden continues to grow louder. On Feb. 1, for example, forestry company Holmen AB said it was forced to cut production of paper products due to high power prices."

The one fact whomever wrote that LEFT OUT??? We had plenty of natural gas capacity, but with the federal push for "green" energy, the natural gas was TURNED OFF when the freeze hit, and because it was not running, the condensation froze the pipes. So we couldn't get the RELIABLE energy source started because we let idiots push us into "green" initiatives.

Nope. It was off because electrical demand is typically much lower in the winter, dumbfuck. It was excess production capacity. It froze because Texas is run by dumbfucks.The one fact whomever wrote that LEFT OUT???

"Texas does not have as much storage capacity as other states, experts said, because the resource-laden state can easily pull it from the ground when itās needed ā usually.
"Of the storage that the state does have, the resources are somewhat difficult to get to. Luke Jackson, another natural gas analyst for S&P Global Platts, said that physically withdrawing stored natural gas is slower than the immediate, ready supply of lines from production and is insufficient to make up for the dramatic declines in production."
Why was production down? Why was stored supply difficult to get? Slower?
BECAUSE IT WAS OFFLINE to make way for wind and solar. 20% of the grid was wind/solar, and that failed nearly 100%
Millions of Texans are burning their belongings in June to keep their children warm?! They must be Democrats.Abbott was far from the firstRepublican to deploy such blatantly false talking points in response to the ongoing crisis in Texas, which has left at least 10 people dead. But the governor's decision to appear on Fox News and attack a policy that has not even been implemented as Texans resorted to burning their belongingsto keep their children warm was viewed as yet another example of his failed leadership.
'He is lying -- people are dying': Calls for Texas governor to resign as he blames power outages on wind and solar
As millions of Texans struggled desperately to keep warm amid power outages stemming from the devastating winter storm sweeping the nation, the state's Republican governor late Tuesday blamed solar and wind for the blackoutsādespite the fact that Texas relies overwhelmingly on fossil fuelsāand...www.rawstory.com
Looks like green energy is getting firmly shoved up the rights ass. Which is amazing since thatās where their heads are.

But ERCOT was run by dumbfucks, yes. 5 board members resigned and got the fuck out.
Bullshit. Has not a fucking thing to do with it.The fact still remains, no wind and solar, no outage. Period
Texas is a natural gas state. Fact.Yeah no. Give that nonsense a rest, pal. Texas is a natural gas state and if what you allege is factual, it would have been exposed as such, but it wasn't because the facts are different from your "alternate facts". It doesn't say anything the likes of which you have falsely insisted is the case.

Deliberately.Texasās grid met expectations of people who knew of its vulnerability.I dont consider that a weak point at allThat being said, their inability to get enough energy from outside their grid is a HUGE weak point and is squarely on decisions made by the Texas government.
because when china attacks the energy grid in the US through cyber warfare it will not work in Texas
and sooner or later the CCP will show its true colors
but I concede that the Texas grid failed to live up to expections
This was predicted to happen.
And in the winter Texas only gets 10% of itās energy from wind and solar.Texas is a natural gas state. Fact.Yeah no. Give that nonsense a rest, pal.
