Psaki Says Coal and Natural Gas – NOT Frozen Wind Turbines Caused Power Grid Failure in Texas Cold Snap (VIDEO)
GP ^ | February 17, | Cristina Laila

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki on Wednesday said coal and natural gas – NOT frozen wind turbines – caused the power grid failure in this week’s Texas cold snap.

Texas got hit with a rare cold snap that spanned to the southern part of the state and the power grids gave out.

.... Snip....

Millions of Texans suffered blackouts partly due to the frozen wind turbines.

Psaki said reports suggesting renewables caused the power grid failure in Texas are inaccurate, rather it was renewables that came in to save the day.

“Numerous reports show that it was failure in coal and natural gas that contributed to the state’s power shortages,” Psaki said.

They can lie with impunity because the Ministry of Propaganda will never say they are lying.

I’m surprised she didn’t blame Trump.

The coal and gas pollution restrictions in place by our government, that would have been caused by Texas firing its boilers to create electricity while all the solar panels and wind mills were iced over is the actual culprit.

If you look at the Texas Grid fuel mix you can see wind accounts for roughly 1/3 of our electrical generation capacity, but the windmill generation output is basically shut down as shown here.

Psaki,AOC, and the rest of the Democrat party are pathological liars who are a clear and present danger to the nation.

At least we have them surrounded, it will make holding the tribunals for treason that much easier.

Not to defend Psaki, but there are several separate issues mainly responsible for the lack of power in Texas this week.

1. Natural Gas Well freeze-offs; gas flow blockages resulting from water vapor freezing in the gas stream (reduced fuel supply at source)

2. Frozen components at some natural gas-fired power plants, forcing operators to shut down. (reduced generation)

3. The changeover from Natural Gas compressors to electric motor compressors, used to transport the gas over long distances. As power capacity is reduced, the NG fuel supply to power plants is starved (transporting the fuel supply).

Look these things up for yourself if in doubt.

Democrat.....Liberal.....stupidity caused it.

They had to have their way, like the babies that they are.

This country was fine until we started appeasing the Liberals....the Democrats.

See what appeasement got us.

I must object, you are being too kind. This is not ignorance. This is deliberate lying. Just like they did in Nov.

The Tx power handling outfit (ERCOT), like the pack of dweebs we have out here in Ca, encouraged “renewable energy alternatives” since they were cheaper because every US citizen was subsidizing them. So, no baseline power plants. So, when the “REA” crap out like every engineer (and smart Politico) in Tx told them would happen, the lights go out.

As to a rare temp drop. Not so rare. Don’t buy that lie, either. In the ten years I lived in Tx a long time ago, there were at least two times a “Blue Northern” blew in and dumped snow on the Gulf coast — far more south than the stupid windmills so beloved by Green New Deal dweebs. It’s called a “BLueNorthern” cause its like a dam broke somewhere in the midwest and all the cold Canadian air floods south. It is not a rare event if there is a name for it.

I think the Nat Guard hasn’t moved yet due to all the ice on the roads. Take a look at the map at drivetexas. Almost the whole state’s roads are frozen over.

If that ends up to be true, the only question will be if President Harris will allow her to serve out tne whole 90 days after the next transition of power.
