That is a BS lie by global warming nuts....Texas would not be in the news for power outages if not for renewable subsidies that replaced their existing power supply with wind and solar farms...so the people of America in part paid for Texas to have an unreliable power grid....CA is right in there with them....

Why listen to reality? Right?

this is why trumpkins are ignorant twits

or you can just keep lying

Its not just frozen wind turbines....solar panels are useless without the sun...solar and wind has been used since the beginning of human existence...for drying skins and supplying water....why are we going backwards?....

Nice paywall, asshole.

What nonsense. You don’t know anything about how to maintain a large power grid. When those windmills and solar stop working entirely, it puts an immediate strain on the other generation sites. The BES is down power generation and makes balancing even more difficult. Couple that with a huge uncommon demand makes balancing that much more difficult. It isn’t just about the power output, it’s about balance. Then throw in the weather causing damage to power lines, causing more strain and spikes in the BES. One failure in the BES can lead to a domino effect.

This is a good article showing the problem isn't that simple:

How independent Texas power grid really is isn't specified but it is a major cause of the problem.

Who's actually to blame for the Texas power disaster?

 

[Rambunctious]

True story...about ten years ago my neighbor had panels installed on his roof...I did as well...he came over one day and asked if my panels were operating ok...yes I said...(although not near as well as promised by the solar company) so we went to his house and I looked up to see his panels caked with dust and debris....How is the sun going to reach your panels I asked?.....you need to clean them often....

I drive by a solar farm almost every day and the panels are brown with dirt...there is no way they will function properly in that condition....renewables are too fragile and unreliable....

We should be researching how to make petro and nuclear energy cleaner not wasting time on tinker toys like windmills and solar panels...

you don't know what you are talking about which, of course, surprises no one

TX is off the national grid. They are off the national grid because of the ass hole right wingers who wanted "independence."

So now they learn the price of "independence."

Assholes.

Everything the wingnuts do comes back to bite them. This is bit one example.

Why do wind turbines continue to work in much colder states?

Ancient forms of power are illegal in many places. There was.a time when every house had a fireplace that burned wood for heating and cooking. Those carbon emissions are illegal.

Good article and I read something similar last night.

I guess ole Texas being so independent bit them in the ass.

Yup, all these morons are screaming about “green energy”, we already know then ultimate green energy technology: fusion reactors. We’re still decades away, maybe even a hundred years away, from having that as a realistic power source for first world countries. But we will get there at some point.

In the mean time we can live with normal power sources just fine. These moronic environmentalists are just virtue signaling attention whores, I suspect most of them are queers, or at best desperate beta cuck simps trying to impress stupid environmental-feminist types.

10,700 ENERGY windmills (this doesn't count the water ones)--------FROZEN...

 

[Richard-H]

Texas is a Republican dominated state that has refused to integrate their power systems with the rest of the nation - to avoid federal regulation.

Whatever Texas uses as a power source, Texans can only blame themselves and their Republican leadership for this.

If their Republican leadership had been willing to accept Federal Regulation, their power systems would be integrated with the rest of the country and they'd be supplied with power from outside Texas.

It wouldn't have mattered if parts of their systems failed or went 'Out of Balance'.
