He blames “wind power” for the Texas debacle even though he had just gone to such great lengths to explain the details of a very similar situation more than 30 years ago THAT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH WIND POWER. I thought the point he was making was that it was a cascade failure.
He explained how the sudden surge in gas consumption caused a failure of the gas delivery systems (like in 1989), but in Texas this surge was caused by people being driven to gas heating due to failure of the wind generation to supply enough electricity to power home heaters.

I read the article again. Unless I’ve missed something, he doesn’t even mention the word “wind” until the very end when he claims that wind power caused the fiasco in Texas that he just spent several hundred words explaining as a gas supply/operation problem.
American Thinker should pull the article. It has to be one of the most contradictory piles of slop I’ve ever read online.
