Make it pretty clear that it wasn’t any green energy that failed us; it was
failure of the oil and gas energy and failure transportation (unable to move antifreeze to sites.)

We had a weeks notice that the cold front was coming in. They had ample time to move trucks around on site to spray down the mechanicals.

Apparently about ? 10 years ago we had a similar cold snap (not as bad as this storm)
And I believe that we were told THEN that they were looking into spray equipment to be installed on the energy plant sites or whatever you call them.

Gov Abbott blathering on about how he is gonna get to the bottom of this...
He’s the one that appointed these jokers on the board of the Energy commission.
One lives in Canada and 2-3 live out of state.

What a clusterfuck of a government we have in Texas.

Turbines provide 10% of TX power, only 13% of those failed -- so that's a 1.3% drop in power. eppur_se_muova Feb 2021 #17
