I don't think this issue is a renewables vs fossil fuels one. Both systems froze in Texas, both systems if properly weather proofed would not freeze. There are plenty of wind turbines in the north rn that are operating normally in colder temperatures. The problem in Texas is a perfect storm of 1. some disruption to normal power generation due to a hard to for see circumstance 2. a huge increase in power usage for heat 3. little reserve power because most systems go into mantience during winter as power usage is generally lower 4. an unconnected grid that couldn't siphon power from other places unlike any other part of the country.
You should go on there and tweet her pictures of the frozen windmills and say like this green new deal.
