[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The bigger issue than the wind turbines freezing is that Texas has underinvested in its energy infrastructure and doesn't have cross-border connections to draw energy from  neighboring states and alternative sources. This was done purposefully, and experts have been warning about this kind of event in Texas for years.

This is fully a political issue that is manifesting because of law taxes and non-action relation to climate change.

I am sorry it is happening, but it was a fully avoidable event.[/quote]

Texas hasn’t underinvested in energy infrastructure. The dollars have simply been invested in intermittent renewable power. If 100% of Texas wind and solar capacity had been online yesterday then there would have been no blackouts. [/quote]

Not during the winter it wouldn't.  There's not enough wind in texas at this time and that was already known. The more you all lie to yourselves to pwn the libs the more harm you are doing to yourselves.[/quote]

There isn’t enough wind in -1 degree temperatures?  Do you even hear yourself?[/quote]

According to the data, wind generation has exceeded expectations.  Also, according to the data, even if wind generation was at 110% of summer capacity it still wouldn't have been enough to meet the demand surge.

The more you all lie to yourselves to pwn the libs the more you are hurting yourselves.[/quote]
