Renewable energy is what is keeping the lights on in TX.

You mean the freeze that was because they bought a cheap, wrong, inferior product?

Why Did Wind Turbines Freeze in Texas When They Work in the Arctic?

No, nobody forgot that ""In Northern Europe, wind power operates very reliably in even colder temperatures, including the upper Arctic regions of Finland, Norway, and Sweden."

Did you?

Also MAGA: "The gubmint has declared coal to be the winner and all others must bow down before the almighty coal heap"

I guess that's one way to get OPEC nations to gift you billions and by gift I mean bribe.

Good. I’m tired of taxes on oil, gas, and coal being used to prop up economically unviable solar and wind projects. It’s about damn time it went the other way too.


Good for Texas.

Solar is very viable. Oil and gas is not propping up solar and wind. TX has more renewable energy than any other state for a reason. It's not because the politicians love it. It's because it's reliable and cheap.

No it is because T Boone Pickens convinced Texas legislators that peak oil is coming and we need to subsidize all this renewable energy.

T. Boone Pickens wasn't wrong. The days of easy Texas oil are already gone. Now it takes a lot more work, hydrofracking, deep wells, offshore etc. People who think oil just magically comes from rocks and is in endless supply are out-of-touch fools.
