contrary to a wave of conservative critics who tried to falsely pin blame for the situation on renewable energy.

How one Texas storm exposed an energy grid unprepared for climate changePropaganda 101: Overload the meaning of a term with:
1) Something that exists (changes in climate)
2) Something you claim exists (dangerous changes in climate due to human activity)
And then point out instances of 1 in a way that makes people assume instances of 2. When called out on it to defend your assertion, you can point out how it is an instance of 1.

” Global warming “ has suddenly morphed into “ climate change “.
Have no fear. China Joe and Sandy Cortez know how to fix the world’s weather.

Yeah that global warming really generates record cold temperatures.
To: BrexitBen
Only when it suits them.
They keep falling back on “warming”.

Electric grid regulators said the U.S. will have to develop vast supplies of power storage — such as gigantic batteries
—
Just how big would a battery have to be to be able to keep a state as large as Texas in power?

Restrict energy production at your own risk.
Planet on fire or the next ice age we must plan for either situation.

This is a perfect illustration of why Satan got kicked out of Heaven, his lies didn’t hold up. Then, people believe his representatives? Well, be careful what you wish for.

An honest title would be:
“How one Texas storm exposed how badly leftist ‘environmentalists’ destroyed the previously good Texas energy grid.”

Super sized! Costco sized! As big as Texas!

Natural gas generation disappeared. Not sure why. I guess since everyone heats their homes with it, there were localized shortages. Wind performed as expected, solar did way better than expected.
