Wind turbines throughout Texas are frozen and not producing the electricity needed to keep Texans safe and warm.

We need fossil fuels. They are crucial for our economy, and the only reliable and affordable source of electricity. https://t.co/6ZpQ0R4c6e
"Yet the power grid is becoming less reliable due to growing reliance on wind and solar, which can’t provide power 24 hours a day, seven days a week."

Attacks on reliable fossil fuels have led to blackouts in ND and 13 other states. This is unacceptable.https://t.co/9B8rLNVDjA

WSJ goes disingeneous in the extreme. The main cause of the Texas power outages were failure to winterize natural gas and coal fired power plants & isolation of the Texas power grid making it difficult to import power. Windmill icing was a distant third https://t.co/ILx3gBRZrW

You'll be shocked to learn neither the California nor Texas blackouts are due to renewables. This quote sums it up (and is why we need a new energy system and not more fossil fuels): "Everything that could go wrong is going wrong with the system” https://t.co/0mVdbx0ggn

The Real Reason for Texas' Rolling Blackouts Isn't Renewable
— ? McSpocky™ ??? #PatriotsVotedBlue (@mcspocky) February 16, 2021
Wind energy is dependably used in places where weather gets much colder. The problem is that Texas didn't see the need to winterize their turbines, so didn't in order to save money. https://t.co/kIVNVgYoFI

I don't doubt they lacked winterization on the windmills, we are talking about Texas here.

However, that doesn't even seem to be the biggest issue. The cold is affecting the gas lines much worse than windmills https://t.co/uL8tJqr8Tc
“In 2014, [Texas] regulators found that wind energy was actually more reliable than both coal and natural gas during an early January cold snap” https://t.co/YGzrHYmERO

Some pundits claim that the blackout is b/c Texas wind farms couldn't stand the cold. (Texas has the highest wind generation capacity in US). The truth is all forms of power generation got blasted. https://t.co/BySEsxMuhJ
