Every "green" movement is designed to allow the elites to virtue-signal (and cash in) while forcing the poor and middle class to suffer.

Change my mind.

Just yesterday Texas's ERCOT issued a warning to conserve electricity because wind generation was coming in at only 10%.

The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) has issued a Conservation Appeal asking Texans and Texas businesses to voluntarily conserve electricity today, July 11, between 2-8 p.m. CT. ERCOT also issued a Watch for a projected reserve capacity shortage from 2-8 p.m. CT. At this time, ERCOT does not expect system-wide outages. Factors driving the need for this important action by customers include (i) record high electric demand, and (ii) wind generation coming in at less than 10% of its capacity.

Of course. That's what all leftwing policies are about. The elites never have to do what they impose on the masses. They fly in private jets, they don't wear masks, they don't use 0bamacare, their kids attend private schools, they're all fabulously wealthy.

The fact that Green New Deal Cortez is now worth $29 million after just four years in government tells you how it works.

The biggest recipients of "green energy" are those rich Chinese industrialists who manufacture the equipment.

There's nothing virtuous about making them rich while punishing our own gas, oil, and coal industries.

ERCOT and the Texas utilities market is exactly what Conservatives wanted...they are not on the national power grid, they have their own....they "seceded" so to speak...there is no real regulation.........this is their free market utopia and you bitches are still complaining.....


I don't see New York issuing warnings.....Even California is doing better with providing power to their millions more customers than Texas....


"the Electric Reliability Council of Texas issued a watch indicating that it has projected a shortage in energy reserves Monday “with no market solution available,”


Texas conservatives created this market -- so why isn't there a market solution available??

Negative, it's what Tejas gop politicians wanted so they could get their graft on with the solar and wind tycoons who are one of the man sources of funding for their ambitions after oil of course.

Think of it as the Texas version of "high speed rail" corruption in CA......Of course they are trying to cash in on that now too with property rights being a mere afterthought.

TX is a object lesson for the rest of the country when it comes to outright greed and selling-out the citizenry.

Truth be told Texas is not much more than a police state with their cities being leftist loony bins. The worst of both worlds.

I wish they would reform their old Republic, it would be entertaining....Many bags of popcorn would be sold and Cokes consumed.

Ok. Then tell your buddies in DC to get the hell off their backs and let them run their "free market utopia" the way they want to, without excessive EPA and other regulations.

A solution to that was built in to the Constitution.
Unfortunately, modern Americans are entitled, lazy, cowards. ALL of them, and refuse to lift a finger to defend it or their rights. A sad epitaph to a once great nation. This is exactly how tyranny wins.

No bitch, you don't get to "re-label" conservatism when the shit doesn't work and claim it isn't "real conservatism" -- you morons have a long history of doing that....

I guarantee you that you were cheering the fact Texas had no regulations, their own power grid, etc, etc, etc, -- probably said goofy shit like "free market solutions" a lot or greed is good......until it failed....now suddenly, its "No, the Texas GOP aren't like real Conservatives" -- shut yo bitch ass up.....

As much as you morons talk about personal responsibility -- you sure do blame any and everything else when your own policies fail...

Thank you, Texas: U.S. wind energy capacity hits an all-time high

Texas played no small role in the nation's wind energy capacity hitting an all-time high in 2020. Construction in the Lone Star state was brisk.

www.caller.com

As much as you morons obsess over AOC as if she is the most powerful woman in the US -- powerful enough to force Texas to use wind energy against their will....Texas has been using Wind energy since the fucking 70's, she wasn't even born yet....stop blaming your failures on her....

Well said .. Texans made their own bed ... now they have to lie in it ... same problem they had back in February, 2021 ... it's as windy as can be elsewhere, but Texas is TOO STUPID to hook up ...
