They put all their resources into wind which stunted laying out gas pipelines for a growing population. So when this freeze hit, the gas was burdened and the wind was unavailable.
Blame T Boone Pickens. When he wasn't making enough money from natural gas because of fracking, he ordered $2 billion worth of wind turbines from GE. He wouldn't pay enough for land to put them on, so he whined till the gov't bought them from him. Then he died.
25% was wind, only half of that went out temporarily. Wind turbines can be winterized, but hardly worth doing in TX.
A Powewall in you home would give you independence from this outage. Combined with solar panels, would get you completely off grid most of the time. Not enough liberating technology is the real problem.
What a tool. Temporarily? It's still out. Not enough liberating technology? What an idiot. All we need is to be liberated from these idiot democrats. They eliminated coal. They want to eliminate fracking, which will kill natural gas. They want to eliminate all fossil fuels. The obvious problem with their idiot ideas? They want to kill all sources of power that are readily available today with no plan at all for the fact that there is nothing to replace it. Hence the situation in Texas, and that's just the beginning.
Texas largely relies on natural gas — especially during times of high demand — to power the state. Experts say natural gas infrastructure, from pumping it out of the ground to the plants in city centers, was unprepared for the plunging temperatures brought by the winter storm. https://www.texastribune.org/2021/02/16/natural-gas-power-storm/
The "conservative" reflex to blame all on renewable energy is the stupidity here. If you had a Powerwall, you'd have about 3 days of backup power. Brush the snow off your solar panels and you'd get at least some power every day. Depend on govt. granted utility monopolies and you're fked. Fossil funded talking heads have a lot of us propagandized.
Yes liberation and independence are the eventual answer. It is the Trump philosophy writ small.

and now they want to put all the cars on this same failing electric grid.
