"By Monday, the bulk of the losses — about 26 gigawatts — appeared to be from natural gas. Wind generators lost about 4 GW".
If they both go out, I'm sure you realize, the loss is the same. "Gosh, I feel so much better my gas supplier froze instead of the wind energy provider!"
Follow Ups:
it appears the concept of proportion eludes you keen perspicacity. As with Chris' lack of understanding the concept of total tax burden, you demonstrate the same inability in this case.
Texas Total Entergy capacity : 118.5 GW.
Second grade math question:
Which is a higher proportion - 50% or 22%?
Too funny!
wind be the dominant source: oil and gas are the main problems. This would tell a reasonable person that relying on any one source is foolish; today, it's freezing cold, tomorrow?
Of course, long ago a reasonable person would have concluded oil and natural gas were major contributors to a far greater problem, global warming, and realized reliance on fossil fuel was a deadly decision---- not just for Texans.
Plus, Texas now says it's not the energy supply, per se, but the way the grid is set up.

the gris is part of the problem, as is the entire energy strategy.
Texas decided it didn't want any federal controls, so established an energy grid that didn't cross state lines, so are unable to buy electricity from outside the state, as other states can do.
My second statement , that a privatization stratagy is also to blame is supported by the fact that publicly owned utilities have a more dependable record of service, since they tend to spend more on needed upgrades and maintenance, instead of deferring maintenance in favor of profits to stockholders or management bonuses.
Some small amounts of electrons are bought and sold across the Oklahoma and New Mexico borders, but not enough to fall under federal regulations.
I just read how this weather event has kind of shut down the ever popular Texas succession from the union talk. They need to shut their yapper and raise some taxes so they can pay their own way. They receive $1.07 for every $1.00 they send to the feds.
I must always acknowledge the Texas women, they are great. The men, meh. Only place in all of my world travels where I was shot at. Also the only place with good Texas swing music and BBQ.
This would tell a reasonable person that relying on any one source is foolish
Especially one subject to running at only 50% capacity!
Next up: why you love coal so much.
Well, it generates 22% of electricity in the US. Lights and heat are a good thing. ;)
Clueless individuals would suggest we just shut down schools, hospitals, businesses, etc. Great idea, Tinny!
extreme weather tech for their wind generators.In other words, it ain't wind, it's poor planning. Wind power is fine.
BTW, I enjoyed the discussion.
