All liberal news magazines and newspapers cover up the 93% loss of wind energy during the Arctic blast in Texas.The Texas Tribune: Wind power's role in Texas grid failure less than first estimated.

Wind power a smaller contributor to Texas electricity crisis than initially estimated, ERCOT analysis shows
An updated analysis of the Texas power crisis shows lost natural gas power generation was the most significant component of the February outages.www.texastribune.org

You are so funny. You DO know that coal piles froze, right? What is it a fellow Texan said about what they say in TN about getting fooled twice? LOL
ENERGY TRANSITIONS: How coal failed in the Texas deep freeze
Industry has claimed that coal is more reliable than natural gas and renewable energy during extreme weather events because it's stored on-site. But the disaster in Texas shows that is not always true.www.eenews.net
You can adjust the times on this energy graph. If you look at 12 Feb to 20 Feb, you can clearly see the wind energy getting knocked out on 15 Feb. Coal and nuclear were the most steady.

So anyone who tells the truth is a liberal, got it. LOL. Good luck doubling down on incompetence.
No. Look at the real scientific data from EIA. Liberals hate looking at real data.
Is ERCOT part of your alleged liberal media?
Oh, maybe the Russians are behind the big freeze. But wait, they are pro Drumpf. LOL

Playing politics while Texans freeze? Gov. Abbott grilled after blaming Green New Deal for his state’s power woes
Texas Governor Greg Abbott has singled out renewable energy as the culprit behind his state’s devastating power outages, sparking accusations that he is trying to skirt responsibility for the crisis.

Not sure what you're getting at. I'm a liberal. I'm also a clinical lab scientist, one who relies on scientific data rather than feelings. And I vote. Maybe someday you'll explain this to me.

ERCOT shows that NG was the largest loss of generating power. It also shows that wind came back online faster than NG.

I will know that Global Warming/Climate change is real when I see people moving away from coastal properties and onto higher ground.
Slide 24 tells it all. It's not the fault of ANY of the generators. Being frozen and icing is a simple fix - even at $10/mo, it's better than having to install a propane tank in the back yard - for those lucky enough to have a back yard and space for it.
As with EVs vs ICE: even putting CO2 emissions to one side, what kind of rational person would want to retain coal as a fuel? Its toxic emissions are well documented.
Even the very ‘cleanest’ (lol) HELE coal power stations are puking sulphur and particulates into the air we breathe.
Wrong. This tells the story.
Click ERCO
Go down to third graph down - electricity generation by energy source - click the gear in upper right hand corner
Set the date rage from 12 Feb to 20 Feb
The graph will display the energy usage by source. Run your cursor across the graph. It will display the megawatthours for each source.
Along the graph, look at 02/14/2021 2000 CST. There you will see a break down of for each source.
Wind 8,087 MWh
Natural Gas 43798 MWh
Coal 10,829 MWh
Nuclear 5,140 MWh
Now advance 24 hours to 02/15/2012 2000 CST
Wind 649 MWh - down 92%
Natural Gas 30,917 MWh - down 29%
Coal 8,023 MWh - down 26%
Nuclear 3,785 MWh - down 26%
Now you can clearly see that our wind turbines were knocked out by the Arctic blast. This triggered the widespread outage. Natural gas all of sudden was being used to heat freezing Texans' homes. I cranked up my natural gas logs in the fireplace when my lights went out. It kept my home temperature from dropping below 50F. The power companies then were forced to compete against the consumer to get natural gas to their power plants. They needed that natural gas to make up for the 7,438 MWh of wind energy that got knocked out. But they couldn't because Texans were using it to heat their homes. That is the story in a nutshell. Yes, there is a winterization factor that played into the widespread drop of energy production. But it was that proportional drop of wind energy is what triggered the entire blackout event.
Next time, we will know better to make sure our coal and nuclear are boosted for the next Arctic blast.
Because the Northern Hemisphere went through a similar warming period in the early 20th Century without CO2 forcing.
There were newspaper articles written about it.
