Moving electricity is the domain of transmission engineers, who must answer to the politicians.
Which is why even the scientists don't always trust other scientists, nor agree with them.
It’s an abusive relationship, just when you need it most on a cold morning it won’t roll over.
But unusually moist winter conditions in West Texas brought on by the weekend’s freezing rain and historically low temperatures have iced many of those wind turbines to a halt.
If it was not so tragic it would be funny. I wonder how many people will die of exposure in the name of “green energy” during this very unusual cold spell (caused by Global Warming)?
Too bad a lot of innocents are being made to suffer the foolishness of liberal dictates.
I wonder how many liberal politicians who put this in place, are having their lives adversely affected by it, i.e no power? I bet none.
turbines are frozen and solar panels are covered with snow just when we need reliable power the most.
This is our future if biden gets his way.
I am fortunate that my power is still on, but I know some people without it. It is 18° now in Houston.
That deserves one of these. HUH!

God works in mysterious ways...
maybe some people saw the light and will think differently about renewable energy...
Proof positive that renewables work as well as carbon based power systems and of global warming

When did Texas go green?
Hmmm... sounds like Texas could use a giagumtious injection of gloBULL warming.
Solar panels LOVE the cold. They work better
Why ? It’s like superconductors
The lattice vibrates less at lower temperatures in the electrons can pass through more easily with less resistance
Wind is the purview of giant utilities ; the generators are 400 feet tall and about 2 MW
Any homeowner , any business can use about 25% of one of their roofs and put enough solar panels on to generate all of their electricity on an annual basis and have no electric bill
If the utility doesn’t want to play ball and won’t net meter- you can always get batteries and tell them to take their wires and go home
i think the clear thing to drevie from all this, is that for the best outcome and reliability, you need more than one type of energy system around that works
redundancy

We’ve been hit by rolling blackouts six times so far today. First time my ISP has been up.
Somebody in gov’t needs to become unemployed over this.
Are Texas politicians trying to be like California politicians? !
LMAO
