It needs to be LOUDLY emphasized that this is a lie. Wind and solar power actually overperformed expected winter capacity in Texas. The state was crippled by frozen coal and gas plants, knocking out over 30 gigawatts of power. Sources below.
GOP lies in blaming frozen windmills for Texas disaster. State deregulated so plants didn’t have to winterize, so instruments freezing on gas/coal/nuke facilities, the primary problem. Frozen turbines last. GOP warned this could happen, ignored it to boost energy company profits.
