Texas is on the verge of having another power grid failure of the ERCOT system. Around 11,000 Texans experienced power outages on Monday. In 2021, a winter storm devastated the state, millions lost power, and hundreds lost their lives, causing state leaders to move further from renewables. Governor Abbott blamed solar and wind energy reliance for thrusting the state into a lethal situation, and called the Green New Deal “a deadly deal for the United States of America. Totally clueless.. What caused the Texas blackouts in 2021 was fossil fueled generators failing! They crashed because of freeze ups of poorly designed systems. Fuel supply interruptions, feed water pipes freezing up because they were not insulated. NG supply valves freezing up... On and on and on. Yet solar and wind turbines kept operating until a number of transmission lines failed due to accumulated ice loads. Power doesn't move if they go down. My Tesla worked just fine driving thru North Dakota at this time of year. -20F at the time on the way back to Seattle a couple years ago.
