Millions in Texas without power as deadly storm brings snow, freezing weather

I’m posting this on every thread on this subject.

Last night I watched the WFAA report on this rolling black out and power shortage in Texas. They laid the blame of utilities being to cheap to winterize their power generation facilities. Not one mention of wind mills / turbines and how they shut down in very cold weather, something I don’t really understand unless it is associated with ice on the blades.

Nonetheless Texas, in their isolated power grid, now rely on windmills for 23% of their electricity second only to natural gas. Some 23% of their power supply is just missing owing to the cold weather. That kind of gap can’t be made up.

Texas is getting what they wanted, what the customers were given the right to ask for when they have free choice about where they buy their power and by them making that feel good choice to be Free to Choose (the slogan for Texas’ power choice program) renewable power. We are seeing the outcome of a misinformed public making the choice to Go Green. The really sad part is everyone is being made to suffer because of the choice of some to feel good and Go Green instead of they alone being force to suffer the impact of their foolishness.

If your are freezing in Texas and your pipes burst blame some of your neighbors who made the choice for Wind Power(less).

Instead of sending all of us on the pathway of folly a region of the US should be designated or volunteered as the pilot project region for renewable power. Don’t allow any emergency bail-outs, isolate the region and make it exist on the poison the Greenies want to feed all the rest of us. See how it goes. Texas is not the right place because this cold is not normal. It is just giving us a taste of what would become an every day way of life living with renewable energy. The impact could be mitigated with enough money but I am sure the cost would be staggering to provide reliable Green energy.

This article appeared on Accuweather yesterday.

From this article:

this excerpt:

Around 9:30 a.m., local time, CenterPoint told customers that those in the dark “should be prepared to be without power for at least the rest of the day.” A large reason for the continued lack of power has been due to frozen wind turbines in West Texas, grid operators said.

Typically the state’s wind farms generate a combined 25,100 megawatts of energy, but those turbines were ground to a halt by the moist winter conditions. In 2020, wind power generated 23% of the all the energy in Texas and was the second-largest source after natural gas, according to Statesman.com.

Innocent and helpless people are are going to be made to suffer at the hands of these green fools. That is just one of the many things underlying my anger about this subject in addition to abject stupidity, ignorance of facts and science not caring about either, obscene cost and waste, the fraud, that new generations have a false sense of normal and the suffering that many will experience at the hands of these fools. I’m sorry people in Texas are freezing and doing without power and water. I have family there who are suffering for the folly of fools.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

We will now see the usual panic reaction full of sound and fury signifying nothing. This damage is now done it will be too expensive to reverse. People will consider the cost of remedy, the frequency of the event and decide to do nothing again, which is the right thing to do now that they have screwed things up. Some genies don’t get stuffed back in the bottle so easily.
