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.

He doesn't mention the word "wind," but he explains what happened when the gas infrastructure was overwhelmed.

He's pointing out that the gas infrastructure was similarly overwhelmed in Texas, although the root cause was different.

In Texas, he says it was the failure of the wind system to sustain its supply of electricity, which caused rolling blackouts, which caused people to turn to gas, which caused the gas infrastructure to become overwhelmed.

He's suggesting that if the wind system had not failed, the demand would not have shifted to gas to keep homes heated, which would have kept the gas systems intact.
