Are you kidding the commiesars in Austin will double down on “renewables” because this time coal and gas failed and we lost a nuke too due to cold. They will be like see it was “thermal” power that failed we must have much.more wind. Bank on it.
I heard this also and I can tell you don’t believe it. It’s a lie. A nuclear power plant did not go offline because it got cold and neither did coal. The wind turbines froze and solar failed. They are lying their asses off. It’s amazing how 4 million homes across the state lost power for days but but nearly every commercial property as well as government run warming center shelters all remained on. I think the reason they kept businesses powered up even though most were closed was to create the power shortage and the excuse to cut the power to residential homes. This is not just theory on my part. I have been on the road in the area for hours and I can tell you almost every retail strip center and any commercial property still had power even though most were closed. This was very obvious to anyone who got out during this fiasco. These Ercot people are in a heap of trouble. Wait until the billions in homeowners insurance claims start coming in. Billion dollar class actions are coming.
