So the fault lies not with renewable energy but in not making the investment that would guarantee it works in all weather.
The Texas builders hoped for the best and did not plan for the worst.
Finally, someone with a brain!
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.
