    IGNORANCE

    Only 10% of TX energy comes from renewables.

    Even ERCOT says renewbles played a minor role.

    You really expect those idiots to make sense and know what they are talking about?

    "Texas largely relies on natural gas for power. It wasn’t ready for the extreme cold."

    If Texas companies had been allowed to build more gas and nulear power plants instead of being forced to build wind and solar there would be more generating capacity.  And just think how much better things would be if everyone had electric cars that were sucking up electricity in order to keep running at all in the extreme cold.

    Texans.....'nuff said - a more craven pack of idiots is impossible to find......

  • 2 months ago

    They are pushing their agenda, just like Libs do blaming this latest severe cold weather on Climate Change.

    They ignore the fact that Texas has had severe blizzards in the past, including 1957 and 1895.
