45,000 total megawatts of power that were offline statewide, about 30,000 consisted of thermal sources — gas, coal and nuclear plants — and 16,000 came from renewable sources.
where renewable makes up 10% of energy, over 50% of failed systems were renewable?
where is the investigative reporting?
If you are going to depend on renewable sources for such a large percentage of your electricity then wouldn’t it have made sense to use wind generators that work in winter? Same for your gas, coal, and nuclear plants?
Your math confuses me...
One of the facts that has fallen out of this is the pattern of the Green Lucy Van Pelt:
Nuclear power - BAD!
OK, we'll get rid of nukes.
Coal - BAD!
OK, we'll get rid of dirty coal and move to clean natural gas.
We're halfway down the Green clown funnel where natural gas [fracking] is declared to be BAD!, in order to move on to unicorn farts.
Very similar to where the banking industry was forced to give out house loans to inner city deadbeats because "redlining".
The Texas power people were just being forced to use technology where this could happen - just another bad choice in an array of bad choices forced on them by the Green Lucy Van Pelts.
I agree with you, teeman8r - it doesn't let the unreliability of unicorn farts off the hook.
Terminated by the enemydia and replaced by leftist lies and propaganda. "Uncle Walter" was a significant contributor to that, but it goes back to the enemydia covering up FDR's health problems, and even back to the reporters in Woodrow Wilson's time.
