Green energy has little to do with it. The plants were not built to withstand cold weather - it's that simple. You're 100% wrong. Green Energy was 100% responsible for this energy shortage in Texas. The last three FAKE CONSERVATIVE Governors, which includes our present Governor (Abbott helped Perry), got on their knees with the commie Greenies, to get the middle votes and some on the left, to slowly start converting the "reliable" Texas power grid to Carbon Neutral. Around 2009 they shut down three Coal fired plants, and starting building the Windmill and Solar farms to replace "reliable" Natural Gas / Coal fired plants. To do it correctly, you "have" to have redundancy in the system (Coal/Nat Gas Plants) to cover the Green Energy (Solar/Windmill Farms) production when a shortage develops from going down in a severe cold spell, like we are experiencing. For the numbers to look good for Green Energy, and to brainwash the stupid in public into believing the numbers work and Green Energy is cheaper, the Greenie commies DO NOT leave redundancy in the system, because to leave redundancy in means you have to keep it "maintained' (COST) and ready to step in when needed in an emergency. The maintenance numbers and final TOTAL COST makes Green Energy more expensive than Natural Gas / Coal fired plants, and drives the cost higher all the way down to the customer, thus the reason they do not keep redundancy (BACKUP) in the system. When the Green Energy (Solar / Windmill) production dropped out, there was zero backup and no way to supply the full demand of energy being called for. Secondly, these green commies couldn't leave the "RELIABLE" Natural Gas Pipeline compressor system alone either. They pulled the DECADES long "reliable" Natural Gas fueled engines off the Natural Gas pipelines that were fueled with the Natural Gas from the pipeline, and replaced them with electric motors run from Solar panels. Those Solar panels being used to provide electricity to run the electric motors powering the compressors went offline just like the Solar farms went offline. This means homes and power plants were not receiving fuel for power and heat from the idled pipelines. The commies in MSM, like Bill Gates, are stating the pipelines weren't prepared for the freeze. He is outright lying. You can't "freeze" Natural Gas or Propane at these temperatures, but you can cover up the Solar panels with snow and shut the compressors down. That's the whole story in a nut shell. This incident proves beyond a Shadow of Doubt, Green Energy does not work and is horribly unreliable, and is only a means to strip taxpayers of their monies from ultimately driving energy costs up, and forcing the public into life threatening situations (depopulation).

Local News just said one of ERCOT’s board members lived in Canada and one in Michigan. Bet they were really “worried” about Texans. 😡

Ed, your earned enjoyment of life is refreshing. Too may folks on here are looking for something to whine about. But it is enlivening to occupy a free fire zone mike r
