Prime example why You cant depend on "Green energy." Part of the big problem is wind turbines freezing up.

You can depend on "Green Energy". See this article. The utilities in Texas did not buy the equipment to handle cold weather.

Gonna charge your car when the wind turbines freeze? How about when the solar panels are covered in snow?

Fossil Fuels and Natural gas are still #1.

Here in FL, hurricane magnet state.. I use a cheap Harbor Freight Predator 3500 Watt Inverter. Been using this one for many years and still starts on the first pull.

Best option in terms of sustainability, environment safety, and realizability is nuclear.

Thought the big problem was that the natural gas pipes and generation stations froze up. Prime example of why you cannot depend on ‘brown energy’ LOL.

That’s exactly right .... understandable I suppose given it’s not supposed to get that cold in Texas. Wind turbines work fine in cold climates with the correct kit.

Had a bunch of snappy things to say but I can't let politics ruin my fun on this site. Right or left has no place here IMO. We have enough problems to deal with already.

I think they have system problems across the board. Some heads are going to roll. One of the largest is they don't buy energy from outside the state. Big mistake in this case.

Yes, agree .... I was just using irony. Basic problem is Texas doesn’t expect something like this and none of their infrastructure is hardened for a major freeze. That they chose decades ago to have their own grid just exacerbates the challenge.
