There is a great podcast that hit The Federalist that talks about how Rick Perry signed a law stating that in 2005 25% of all energy in the Texas grid should be from wind. Yikes.
It looks like some people have messed with Texas.
Now we await to see how Texas deals with this. Or is their slogan “Don’t Mess with Texas” an empty one?
This person is too squishy for my liking. 😖
MO has an odd way of dealing with that. If there's a forecast for rain and temps dropping below freezing, they put salt on the roads before they freeze. Crazy I know but it seems to work.
SOB’s in the State House better get off their duffs and do away with this crap wind and solar power! Pickens “picked” us dry then kicked the bucket!! AG Paxton should, along with Red State AG’s sue the Feds by telling them to butt out and the states will run themselves according to that states needs!!
Kevin D. Williamson has not gotten the memo that any connection with National Review tattoos you on your forehead as “dubious”.
Contrary to his writing, I know of no argument FOR Climate Change. Like MANY writers on the left who KNOW you will instantly quit reading their article the second you smell “leftyism”, he just uses that assertion to lay claim to “hey look, I’ve got some perspective going here...I’m more credible than that other guys...listen to what I say”.
The thesis of his article is correct though. Abbott failed to RESIST the Austin marxists gathering twice a month a few blocks from where Abbott sleeps at night so in recent years they tilted regulations towards fake wind and fake solar. He let his guard down or trusted somebody and got outflanked as a result. Like Trump learned, unless it’s family, you can’t trust anybody if your the top politico.
BS article.
If Texas was tied into other states grid there would not have been any problem...but no Texas wanted to be independent.
Other states windmills in sub zero temps are working just fine.
Wind and solar should exist comparable as if one has a secondary part time job or endeavor. Gas/coal/nuclear should be the main resources as relying on the primary job for the foundation. Similar to asset allocations in a mutual fund for a balance.
