A shitload of coal/oil plants were shut down because fee-fees with Paris accord, but China/India can burn, baby burn everything and anything.
Windmills only work if they're spinning, AOC.
Those windmills are mostly around Sweetwater/Post area. What dumbass didn't think that area should have the heaters (ice melt) on those? It gets below freezing in that part of Texas.
Those fancy solar panels the state spent billions on? Yeah, those don't work with snow on them. They also don't work when you buy shitty, cheap ones that collapse and break when they have ice and snow on them.
There is a gigantic nuclear plant in the state. It's not online because the fed said it doesn't meet new regulations because the original plans were drafted in the early 00's, only approved recently and the new technology that makes them safer/more efficient has to now be implemented, aka the timeline was just lengthened to where they change again and it'll never be turned on. But, don't worry, the 12 in France are fine.
This state powers 12 other states, but they apparently can't have their power cut, so fuck us, right?
The biggest one. Energy companies would rather save their people/trucks until things are passable so that they can then go fix the issue. I get this one. Not worth killing people and losing equipment trying to fix something now.
Wealthy areas and downtowns never lost power, but they only turned off downtowns when people started bitching on socialist media that they're powering buildings with no one in them because the major cities were posting photos of the pretty skylines surrounded by darkness as a giant "fuck you." Wealthy areas still never lost power though and poor/destitute areas were turned off first.
The amount of shit being slung around about how more regulations would fix this problem are rampant here now. If regulations were so good, how come the east and west coasts can't handle a/c systems in the "hot" summers they have, but this whole state can run every house at 68F when it's 105+F for two months?
Power isn't the biggest problem. It is currently, but the fisheries, gulf and wildlife (non-fish aquatic) are getting fucked right now with the worst being anything that's in the gulf. The long term of the gulf will be bad for a while and expect commercial and recreation limit changes.
There's several problems with power here.

Can someone explain this? I mean we have tones of windmills in Canada here and they work 365....
