Well, i see the NBC are dilligent at fact checking ! :lol:Renewable energy is not to blame for the Texas energy crisis
"About 56 percent of Texas' energy comes from natural gas, just under 24 percent comes from wind, 19 percent from coal, and almost 9 percent from nuclear energy....
56+24+19+9 =108% ?
...and that doesnt include any Solar ?...utility or Roof Top !
There are numerous explanations as to what caused the blackouts, ..depending on who’s version you prefer.!
Of couse the primary cause was human stupidity...not responding after the previous winter blackouts in ‘89 and 2011, and “winterising” the facilities......
But simplisticly,... you could consider that the increase in Wind and Solar (25+%) has been coincidental with a similar reduction in coal generation .....which MAY have performed more reliably in cold weather !....
....but that is also a human decision, so all self inflicted !
