Make sure to send them a few bucks fellas, they've fallen on hard times.
And look how well deregulated utilities perform.
Texas paying more for services that aren't reliable.
That's because they went big into wind. Big mistake. Give me fossil or nuclear.
When backed into a corner, is your 1st reaction to lie?
C'mon, man. You need to try harder.
Wind power a smaller contributor to Texas electricity crisis than initially estimated, ERCOT analysis shows
An updated analysis of the Texas power crisis shows lost natural gas power generation was the most significant component of the February outages.
While Texas Republicans were quick to blame renewable energy during the storm - and have continued to target renewable energy for reform during this year's legislative session - a recently updated report on the causes of generator outages during the week of Feb. 14 show that the most significant cause of the low power supply to the grid came from natural gas plants shutting down or reducing electricity production due to cold weather, equipment failures and natural gas shortages.
