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.

Until they have lived like the rest of us, they are clueless and willfully ignorant.

Is that girl that stupid? How can cold affect fuels like Coal and Natural Gas which you burn? She is trying to hide Biden and the democrat’s Green New Deal nonsense. Clouds affect solar energy generation. Cold affects wind turbines. Biden better find a new press secretary and fast if he wants to maintain some semblance of reality to his reports.

I should go and take pics of those worthless hunks of junk that are not generating anything except cash credits for investors. She needs to circle back on reality!

Wow, my bad for looking at various aspects of the situation and not marching in lock-step here.

Would you prefer that I self-flaggelate, eat glass or watch MSNBC for a week?

“said the primary cause of the outages Tuesday appeared to be the state’s natural gas providers”

I believe them, but the gas doesn’t freeze. The extraction or distribution equipment must have been crippled by the cold. I’d like the power guys to explain why that happened. If you’re moving natural gas you have a heat source right next to all of the equipment.

Did any of Texas’s water distribution equipment freeze up?

Psaki’s remark illuminated nothing.

The opposite of what a liberal says is the truth.

Always.

Without exception.

Your linked article says they recommended implementing measures to prevent the coal/gas shut-down issues after a 2010 cold snap had a similar effect, but that they haven’t yet done the upgrades. These plants could adapt for cold much easier than they can adapt windmills and solar for ice and snow.

That’s correct. In the oilfield we call them ‘Heater Treaters’ and put them next to the natural gas compressors.

DC and other northern cities keep their roads clear.

A lot of Texas does not have sand/salt trucks or even snowplows.

And just to think there are people who will fall for this. How stupid do you have to be.

Oh, Wall Street Journal. Market watch. A bunch of business related papers that are globalist climate change cheerleaders.

And the Texas Tribune from the first post is a joke. They’re notorious for publishing bad fiction and trying to pass it off as news.
