Bongino showed a clip from some hack at PMSNBC blaming it on frozen instruments at natural gas and nuclear plants. Not the reduced capacity.
Ercot table shows that wind dropped to 9% of planned capacity
Solar to 0%
Gas 53%
Coal 56%
Nuclear 73%
So tell me where the weakest link lies..

Excellent info in this post. Reliable generation in good weather remains the most reliable in bad weather. Not reliable generation, well, you get the picture.
Look at those first two columns, the difference between the nameplate installed capacity for wind and solar, and the dependable, the number they're using to compute the capacity factor in the last column. The calculation is slanted to make renewables look better, but they still come out on the bottom. There's 6.5 times the wind and solar generation capacity as there is nuclear in ERCOT, and yet nuclear is outproducing wind and solar by a factor of 6. Brutal.
