Renewable do not work as a primary source of power. At best, they might be a source of power to generate hydrogen. It doesn’t matter how reliable or iffy the renewable is if we never have to rely on it as a primary source of power.
Brandon responded quickly unlike E Palestine. Is there an election somewhere around here?
It’s more likely the hurricane destroyed a lot of the T&D system and less a generation problem
It wouldn’t matter if they were using NO renewables.
The issue is that power lines were down AND the shitocrats have let so many illegals in that the population has swelled. remove the 5 million illegals in Texas and it would not have been a problem.
Heat only in the minds of leftists.
Exactly, it’s summer time in Texas, it’s bound to be hot down there.
I agree, Abbott shouldn’t be allowed to leave Texas borders during Hurricane Season.
(that is what the Left is essentially saying)
Texas energy sector is incredibly corrupt. Connected pigs rake in the cash building subsidized windmills which produce power at 3x the cost. Energy rates are free market but infrastructure costs are still regulated by ercot. To hide wind costs grid maintenance is delayed. Thus Texas now has an expensive unreliable grid.
I’ve heard the same. ERCOT is not great.
Funny how Godless Commies only blame Republicans for Acts of God.
You don’t go galivanting off to Asia when a hurricane is heading to your state. What a tone deaf thing to do.
D more than T
I am a long time Texas Freeper.
I been saying Abbott is a RINO for YEARS.
What Gov does NOT cancel an overseas trip when a hurricane is planed to hit the Texas coast?
BINGO!
I lost power for five days because of Hurricane Ian.
One hundred years ago perhaps half the farmers in the USA lacked mains electricity.
No surprise as there are a lot more miles of D than T.
Newsome feels no heat over California’s mess. They want him to be president. Everything these dreks write is leftist opinion.
The power grid didn’t fail. It was a freaking hurricane. Houston had 90 mph wind gusts. Such morons.
california is now asking people to ‘conserve energy’ during peak hours- Yeah- forcing people to convert to all electric vehicles and yard items like mowers will work out real well there /s
