I'm very proud of Texas' wind and solar production. We still need more NG and nuclear. Texas should be exporting our excess power to the east and west grids. People will die this week due to no power, I blame bullshit conversationalists.
~200k homes are without power right now just in Austin. They planned "rolling blackouts" for 40 minutes before they realized there wasn't enough power to relight those areas without crashing the rest of the grid.
As of Sunday morning, those iced turbines comprise 12,000 megawatts of Texas’ installed wind generation capacity, although those West Texas turbines don’t typically spin to their full generation capacity this time of year.
In perfect conditions, they could theoretically generate 12K MW, but those conditions don't exist outside computer simulations. We're still going to say they comprise 12K MW of our generation capacity though.
Also, what was their plan for generating electricity when there wasn't any wind and it was dark?

Thanks BIDEN.....We don't need no stinkin' oil
