Leave it to a conservative think tank to get to the root of this story first(sarcasm). I would like to see some proof to their assertion, and hopefully before my inlaws come over and rant my ear off about the dangers of Biden's wind power . Wind power is only about 16% of Texas' total energy generation 🌬. While I do not understand the details of electricity grids, I find it hard to believe that a few frozen wind turbines lead to a near statewide blackout. On top of that, I was under the impression that wind power was very intermittent, and energy storage is still a huge problem. Was the Texas power grid relying on the wind to be blowing really hard during this cold snap? That being said I hope renewable energies become more reliable and cheap and those conservative think tanks lose their Exxon funding.
