The wind “mills” froze. It started the domino fall.
Minnesota, Wisconsin, NY, etc.... all have way, way worse weather and I don’t think they rely on wind or solar. How about hiring someone from one of those states to run the grid in TX, I think they would have had much better back up in place.
I hated it. The amount of wood it took was enormous. The amount of time it took to process the wood and feed it was enormous, often at the coldest, nastiest time of year.
I would view it differently now, but there is a reason I am living in Arizona, and not Wisconsin, for the past 31 years (mostly it is where the career lead).
I am sure many people wished they had alternate source of heating instead of relying on the grid.
I use wood heat.
The stoves now days are much more efficient and the house better insulated.
I burn a third of the wood then in the old farm house I grew up in with a big coal wood furnace.
Oh really,Ted Danson in 1980 was warning the earth had 10 years until total destruction because of Global warming,climate lunatics,that was 40; years ago
We know these people are fools. The problem is the press is worse.
No matter how silly they are - or how many times they're dead wrong, the idiots in the press believe them. It's like 'crying wolf' a thousand times and 'journalists' with wide eyed gullibility start running.
