The Texas power grid failed mostly due to natural gas. Republicans are blaming wind turbines https://t.co/JaFTspBm5a

Takes a lot of stupidity to blame green energy when it was natural gas that was the majority of the failed power grid in Texas.https://t.co/ibTsrRKIbT

No. gas failed much harder. The issue is infrastructure not prepared for the temps despite scientists warning for years something like this is more and more likely. https://t.co/lgxIy7Z58P

What’s going on in Texas is what happens in a one party state where every single statewide politician has no professional skills beyond stoking culture war bullshit every day so they didn’t winterize its generation sources the last time this happened https://t.co/kb3cubCLbY

Texas largely relies on natural gas for power. It wasn’t ready for the extreme cold. https://t.co/pcHmdUaOwb pic.twitter.com/qdRfGyZJQK

The main culprit behind Texas’ loss of energy is our natural gas operations. Over half of our capacity has been shuttered.

We need to move to more resilient forms of renewable energy to avoid these kinds of disasters in the future. #txlege https://t.co/ShVjkfPVZK

The @TexasTribune homepage is a sight to behold right now. Just some of the stories:

Good story on power outages from the @TexasTribune. The main problem is that natural gas plants failed due to a lack of sufficient winterization preparation after the Arctic Outbreak of 2011.https://t.co/TAEqBCiZI3

Today @GovAbbott betrayed the people of Texas by lying about the collapse of the ERCOT grid. Grossly underregulated gas & coal facilities failed, bc the state did not prioritize the wellbeing of the people of Texas. https://t.co/90Z70GmAV5

テキサスの大停電がどうやって起きたのかをまとめた記事。大寒波により火力発電の一部設備が凍結し、電力不足に陥る。テキサスは巨大天然ガス田からパイプラインで発電所にガスを供給するが、低温に加えて電力がないため天然ガスを生産・供給できず、電力供給が更に悪化した。https://t.co/wivEYIk8yM

I don’t think a lot of the country realizes what’s happening in Texas right now.

There are millions of people that don’t have electricity.

No electricity means no heat.

In some cases no electricity means no running water. For DAYS. In freezing temps. https://t.co/bnZYiHCaRR

“Failures across Texas’ natural gas operations and supply chains due to extreme temperatures are the most significant cause of the power crisis that has left millions of Texans without heat and electricity during the winter storm sweeping the U.S.” https://t.co/nKFKy5oxhg

Clean Energy is NOT to blame for Texas' Winter Weather Disaster!

What is?
Greed, deregulation, negligence, disinformation, incompetence, corruption..and yeah, gerrymandering. All in worship of fossil fuels.

You know the platform of the Texas GOP.

The "right" continues to spread lies... the Texas grid failure had little to do with green energy but was mostly due to the failure of fossil fuel sources - the data speaks for itself - https://t.co/WtGmiwqH4N#ClimateBrawl #ClimateCrisis #ClimatePoli #climatechange https://t.co/vu4AyKyyRO

"ERCOT said the primary cause of the outages Tuesday appeared to be the state’s natural gas providers. Many are not designed to withstand such low temperatures on equipment or during production."https://t.co/1tmGpLSayp#NaturalGas #shale #fintwit #oilandgas #Commodities pic.twitter.com/MYzyHw7VP3

For those who are just trying to understand what's going on in Texas. Most of the state's energy grid is founded on its supply of natural gas, which is currently encased in ice without resources to defrost (y'know, apart from the sun):https://t.co/VkQIGdnJ3C
