Why is Texas, a deep red state, trying and lying about renewable energy sources hurting them in their current struggle?

Texas Republican governor went on hannity and claimed the green new deal caused their fiasco in providing electricity to heat homes and businesses. But that is a total lie. First of all renewable energy accounts for less than 10% of Texas energy. Second, of all the people struggling due to power loss only 16% were caused by renewables. And the problems they did have with wind turbines were caused because the state failed to winterize them. Also Texas is the only state not under federal regulation for energy. And no state has implemented the green new deal yet. On top of that, renewable energy sources are used even more arctic region countries and they have almost zero problems in their much more brutal winters. But Texas Republicans and Fox News are lying about it over and over. Maybe this is also Obama’s fault. Losers.

only 7% of the power in Texas comes from wind, the situation in Texas is entirely due to mismanagement by Texas officials, Republicans think that if they lie about things that they are responsible for they will get away with it, unfortunately their voters don't seem to mind being lied to
