Chris Hayes calls out Fox News for lying about windmills being the source of power outages in Texas

"They want to take every policy issue and turn it into some painful culture war idiocy... They want to turn into a culture war, like the libs don’t want you to have power."

1. Well

A couple things. Repubs don't care what Chris has to say. And, there are plenty of repubs in cold weather states that rely on wind power and they realize that their windmills haven't been frozen. The one thing you can count on with repubs is that they hate everyone who's not like them. I've already read comments from them mocking Texans.

2. Lies are all they have to work with.

I’m pretty sure there are Right wing Texans, in prior times, touting, “my house ain’t powered by no liberal agenda windmill or solar power, it’s powered by natural gas!!”

Well guess what schmuck, snuggle up to hypothermia, it’s as cold and heartless as your political ideology!

4. Top 3 Wind states: Texas (25MW), Iowa (8MW) & Oklahoma (8MW) are RED States. Yet Dems?

.

California is forth on the list of wind power producing states.

Texas ERCOT is INDEPENDENT of Federal Regulation. Iowa & Oklahoma are Federally Regulated.

ERCOT has three times the wind power that each of the next two state's produce, and they are independent.

Yet this is somehow a Green New Deal issue?

That Democrats are ramming wind power down Red State throats?
