    Seeing has how fossil fuel generating plants lost a larger percentage of their capacity its looking better every day.

    It wasn't frozen windmills that caused the problem

    It was nuclear plants shutting down because pipes carrying cooling water to the core froze

    It was coal plants cutting output because the piles of coal were frozen into one big mountain 

    It was natural gas plants reducing capacity because the pipeline froze at the well head

    Electricity generation from fossil fuel plants was down 25%, generation from green sources was only down 16%

    Good thing climate change is a hoax, otherwise you'd look pretty stupid right about now.

    Looks like we're headed for an ice age.

  • There is no Green New Deal that has been passed in Texas (BTW, we have wind energy here in Canada and it works great, and cold winters are common).  The problem is that Texas detached itself from your national grid and didn't bother setting up their systems to be able to handle sub-freezing temperatures (simple set-up for wind energy that allows them to work in the winter, but the Texas governor didn't bother; same level of thinking with the nuclear reactors at Chernobyl- go cheap and bad things happened).

    Seeing that what they have now is what they’ll have frequently with the Green New Desl ought to open a lot of eyes. Belize which is mostly green and has the resources to provide green energy struggles to keep their lights on.  So this is a PREVIEW of what Texas will get with the Green New Deal.
