“On Fox News, Tucker Carlson asserted: "The windmills failed like the silly fashion accessories they are, and people in Texas died."

This is egregiously false. Wind power generation always tends to decline during the winter, and the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), which manages the Texas power grid, plans for this. Indeed, on Monday wind was exceeding its expected output, and though wind output fell on Tuesday, solar was making up much of the difference.

As Princeton engineering professor Jesse Jenkins points out, the real primary culprit was the mass failure of nuclear, coal, and natural gas (or "thermal") power plants. At the peak of the blackout something like 27,000 megawatts of thermal capacity were offline — or nearly 40 percent of Texas's entire thermal capacity. So far it is unclear which plants exactly were down, but it seems that it was mainly natural gas to blame, as pipes were frozen and the extreme cold stoked high demand for gas heating. But the cold also knocked out some coal capacity and at least one nuclear power plant, and also damaged a lot of transmission infrastructure.

I really could do this all day, and post hundreds of articles saying the same thing “fossil fuels failed Texans.”

LIAR!!!
Where did ever say pipelines froze?

Come on, TRT.  Why can’t we come together and support more government/taxpayer money for all sources of energy; Instead of he said/he said?  I’ll forgive you for parroting some of Tucker’s talking points, and we can agree on the govt regulating energy companies to make them more reliable, efficient, and sustainable.

I could care less if you forgive me or not. I don't watch Tucker, never particularly cared for him. Larry Kudlow however has been close to the deceit Dems have planned for the US in the immediate future. If getting together means keeping fossils online while allowing green energy to develop, I'm okay with that. That's not what's going on.

Anybody looking to be lied to by the left can go on the internet and find the liberal talking points. The Austin American-Statesman is in fact a Texas media outlet and a respected one at that. Politifact is anything but biased for the conservative side and they are not about to give up any props to support them on something that would be as thin as you're trying to let on. The collaborative leftist Academia, especially the pinch nosed elitists of the IVY League, are, and are going to be all-in on making any contribution they can towards the fulfillment of the liberal wish list now that they have the white house and both houses of congress.

They're doing their part, you're doing your part. It's all still a pack of lies meant to drum up public support for the green new deal. You're not fooling anybody other than vector. BTW, is it not about time you pm'd him with more liberal drivel to put up?

what are you defending?  
you misread what I said and carried on a strawman argument for 6 or 7 posts now.

Are you saying fossil fuel system didn’t fail and the only problem was wind energy?  

You know that’s a lie.  Elementary math disproves that.  

Well, you must watch Cucker Tarlson then because much of the stuff you put on here is word for word of the Faux New’s white nationalist superstar Tucker Carlson.  

Mark it down ...April 16th TRT is begging for more government to save the dying fossil fuels.   

I liked it so much I’ll say it again:  you conservatives love your socialism when it benefits what you believe in

American energy production was the standard of the entire world as it was. Then the desk bound pudding cups of the left whose religion is global warming, retroengineered falsified data to support their self imagined impending doom and declared that fossil fuels were about to destroy humanity. Now supposedly, wind that doesn't blow all the time, and the sun which doesn't shine all the time, can just magically overnight stretch it's capacity from 3% of US need to 100%. Like as was the reasoning started by Obama, all one must do is sign a piece of paper to that effect up in DC and viola, problem solved. Magic.

But thanks to such baloney as the foregoing, we now live in a La-La hysteria where the threat of China can easily be ignored, even facilitated to the point of speeding up the willful loss of our own sovereignty while our attention is completely occupied with an unscientific imaginary foe. Global Warming. The Matrix movie trilogy was prophetic as the ready acceptance of a fictitious reality has become the preferred medium. For your side that's another reason regulation is so important. Those of us outside the matrix who breathe a purer atmosphere are dangerous too, and therefore must be controlled and regulated. The best we can by way of the 'Smith program' however is a government of and by the rabid left. 

Define irony. Humanity is indeed under threat, but not from fossil fuels which are the kindly provisions of God's design, the obvious reality your side rejects. But thusly will your self destructive bent to be regulated in every last matter imaginable, find it's culmination at the hands of one man of autonomy.  And it will all happen much quicker than your wildest hopes.

Boy you danced around it once again.
What's wrong with somebody watching ?

Yeah...that was some more two-step. 

It’s like he’s never heard of batteries.    

we’ve witnessed the death of one fossil fuel despite 30 years of hoopleheaded belief it was coming back what makes anyone believe that technology won’t overtake others if the biggest obstacle—-money—isn’t in the way. 

I now see what Galileo was dealing with.
