He doesn’t control what power systems are expanded in Texas however, ERCOT doesn’t have that power.
Don’t get me wrong, he’s too much neocon for me and I’m not a fan of him either, all I’m saying is this isn’t his fault directly.
He should be pushing for large scale nuclear power plants if he wants the state to be reliant on itself for energy, but unfortunately oil and “green” energy companies will never let that happen.
I'm sure this news devastates the Chinaman in Chief.

Wind energy accounted for 23% of Texas energy last year powering over 7 million homes fully in 2020 with natural gas at 45%
Meanwhile everyone in Austin is ignoring leftist Mayor Adler. It's big bad Abbott's fault.
That fraction being almost 1/4. Texas leads the nation in dependence on wind power.
Nearly 1/4th of the states power is wind, which is crazy considering it’s an oil state but it also loves cheap energy.
Not really Abbott’s fault but will be blamed on him regardless.
