Got that? Climate change is so bad, its hurting our electrical grids.
More windmills, pronto!
Climate change
Winter spring summer fall
contrary to a wave of conservative critics who tried to falsely pin blame for the situation on renewable energy.

I see they got their talking points out.
Propaganda 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.
Oh good God. Where to begin.
So, how is it traditional failed? Even as they admit it’s going to be MORE challenging as more PC nonsense goes on line?
Yeah that global warming really generates record cold temperatures.
LOl.
Climate change.
I could not help but notice they didn’t call it “global 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.”
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.
I think they have that backwards
Politicians going after the power companies because it was their fault the weather brought down their systems not the politicians who wouldn’t let them upgrade because of whatever.
Dear NBC,
Any competent power EE could shred your arguments into pieces small enough to fit into your diminutive brain.
Journalism - for when even a studies major is too difficult.
Media, please stay away from STEM and use only the most simple tools unless you have adult supervision.
“”””Wind and solar, still fairly small slices of the state’s energy mix, played only a minimal role in the sudden power shortage, utility officials said — contrary to a wave of conservative critics who tried to falsely pin blame for the situation on renewable energy.”””
More gaslighting from NBC. 25% of the power in Texas comes from wind and solar. That is hardly a ‘fairly small slice’ of the energy mix.
“”””The picture of what went wrong in Texas is incomplete. But while some wind generators did go offline as turbines iced over, the state’s largest grid, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, said the shortage was driven by a failure not of renewable sources but of traditional “thermal” sources: coal, nuclear and especially natural gas.””””
Until we are given the exact coal, nuclear and natural gas plants that were shutdown, I contend this is BS being pushed by the gaslighting media.
what it exposes is that alternative sources are unreliable.
>>Electric grid regulators said the U.S. will have to develop vast supplies of power storage — such as gigantic batteries — that rely on emerging technologies
NO
Wind and solar fail as significant producers
