Tell that to your governor and your energy companies. They're the one saying that half the generating capacity is offline and much of that is coal and gas plants.
25% is wind and isn’t wind #2 source in thr state?

Austin was lied to about rolling outages. Austin Electric has declared as non-essential the homes of thousands of families who are on their 3rd day of sub freezing temps with no electricity.

We’ve shut down 95 GW (95000 MW) of 24/7/365 baseload coal generation in the last 20 years. That’s about equal to shutting down the electricity in the entire www.misoenergy.org footprint!!
That’s what I’m talking about. Those you are referring to are talking about short term and short term issues aren’t addressing the basic problem; we sacrificed reliable baseload energy for unreliable green/gas energy over the last 20 years.
