“”””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.

If we take NBC’s spinning at face value, and accept their claims that it wasn’t just wind and solar that failed, but also natural gas that caused the outages because of frozen plumbing, then we reach one obvious conclusion: We need more coal and nuclear power plants. Especially since they mentioned the fact that gas-fired plants don’t keep a supply of fuel on site, coal and nuclear seem to be the answer.

Thanks for pointing that out NBC!
