[QUOTE="Grant Jennings, post: 257152, member: 746"] There is power available from the Federal power grid but Texas won't use it, they don't want to borrow energy from other states now because they don't want to lend to other states when they are in need. Texas politicians are in bed with the oil companies so they are attacking green energy, saying frozen wind turbines are the reason for the outages. Yes, there are some frozen turbines but wind and solar power are out-performing fossil fuels during the crisis. Equipment that supplies natural gas has frozen also and is responsible for far more outages than the turbines. Just as the federal government should have had a plan for a possible pandemic (it did under President Obama but the loser did away with it), the states should have plans in place for catastrophes like this. Instead of accepting responsibility Governor Abbott and other politicians are literally tilting at windmills. The right wing propaganda machine has jumped on the band-wagon, also blaming green energy (and, of course, denying climate change). At least there's one less voice on the radio to spew this nonsense.
