What Really Happened in Texas Last Week

...although a relative handful of natural gas power plants did freeze up, either due to the weather or due to lack of natural gas supply as some pipelines also lost pressure, the unarguable fact of the matter is that so-called “renewables” were utterly useless to Texas consumers during this life-threatening emergency, and that without Natural Gas, the entire state would have been left freezing in the dark.

That is according to the official data according to ERCOT and the U.S. Energy Information Administration. So, next time you see the leftwingers at the Texas Tribune or Houston Chronicle or New York Times or CNN tell you it was all the fault of natural gas, you know they’re really failing to tell the real story.

No, nothing stopped you from posting it right here.

Do you think this is your personal click farm?

Does the world owe you a living?

Get a job.

Weed out all the BS and you are left with one fact. Despite similar storms in the past (no it wasn’t once in a century) Texas has never initiated blackouts because it couldn’t generate power.

If power was down, it was because lines were down PERIOD.

from midnight on February 9, when the first blast of cold weather began to set in across the state, until 11:00 p.m., February 14, when output peaked, Natural Gas rose from 14 mwh to 43 mwh, or roughly 300%. Over that same span of time, Wind dropped from about 30 mwh to 8 mwh, or about 72%.

When did Texas political leaders decide to move to state to renewables?

What are the names of the politicians that made that decision?

Uh, whatever became of The South Texas Project down near Bay City?

Axin' for a friend, who did some IT work down there several years ago. Told me he got some good shrimp in Bay City.

They weren’t like this. This much snow and ice over a large portion of Texas, plus the cold temperatures.
