A lot of them are blaming the new green deal - which hasn't even been enacted yet.
Many are blaming renewable energy - which is just a lie. The wind turbines are mostly fine except for a few that have had difficulty, and apparently, solar power is even more efficient in cold weather. (Unless covered by snow).
It's actually the fossil fuel reactors that are causing the problem.
Yep. Made worse by the fact the wind turbines would be just fine if someone has simply done the equivalent of popping the anti-freeze on them a few days ahead of time and the fact Texas decided to separate itself from the National Grid in an attempt to reduce regulations. That now means they have no way of importing energy to cover their production shortfall.
It's all the coal, gas and even Nuclear power plants that are struggling because they all need water as a coolant. How ironic, it's too cold to cool them!
Plenty of people have been reminding Texans that wind turbines work pretty well in the Nordics - great timing given GM have just started an Ad campaign to push electric cars with a tongue in cheek advert starting Will Ferrell having a fight with Norway.
