Texas Governor Greg Abbott "lied on Fox News about renewable energy being the culprit in Texas' blackout," stated the business editorialist for the San Antonio Express last month. "If a snide tweet or a trash-talking appearance on a hard-right talk show could have done the trick, we'd have stayed warm last week."
Check your premises, stay humble. Intermittent wind and solar power is a root cause of the Great Texas Blackout of 2021. Moreover, the great distraction of decarbonization (natural gas is bad too) and of climate change (warmer winters were expected by NOAA/climate models) brought out the worst in the scapegoated private sector.
