Liberals - want it as a way of life.Indeed they do!
Notice the only defense is "Bbbbbut Texas.....!"
Now what he didn't tell you in his reply was WHY Texas had to have blackouts. Why was that?
It was because they decided to Green Up their power grid and had spent a ton of money on non-24/7 power sources.
Huh. That one is the master of the out of context "fact" that uses to uses to bolster his "counterarguments". What you find when you pressure test his posts is that they're not made of particularly stern stuff.
If say, he was confronted with that fact, he'd immediately whip out a "reliable source" that tells the NPC's
It's okay, nothing to see here. Like this one
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/17/climate/texas-b...However, wind power was not chiefly to blame for the Texas blackouts. The main problem was frigid temperatures that stalled natural gas production, which is responsible for the majority of Texas' power supply. Wind makes up just a fraction ' 7 percent or so, by some estimates ' of the state's overall mix of power generation this time of year.And to the Intellectual Yet Idiot NPCs that make up the left wing
zhīshifènzǐ class, this is nectar.
Lookit...stooopid Faux News talking points dunked on again!!!!!But that's not the whole story. The reason so many of them are unknowing, mendacious liars is because they lack the intellectual curiosity to actually understand 99% of the things they bray about online. Natural gas pipelines froze, eh? Really?
Maybe we could dig deeper. After all, getting cold in Texas in the winter time...is a thing. Happens fairly often. So why did this happen now? That's the question the Insultolzers don't bother to ask. Would go against the NPC programming anyway:
https://thefederalist.com/2021/02/18/texass-blacko...Here's what really happened: the vast majority of our fossil fuel power plants continued running smoothly, just as they do in far colder climates across the world. Power plant infrastructure is designed for cold weather and rarely freezes, unlike wind turbines that must be specially outfitted to handle extreme cold.
It appears that ERCOT, Texas's grid operator, was caught off guard by how soon demand began to exceed supply. Failure to institute a managed rolling blackout before the grid frequency fell to dangerously low levels meant some plants had to shut off to protect their equipment. This is likely why so many power plants went offline, not because they had failed to maintain operations in the cold weather.
Yet these operational errors overshadow the decades of policy blunders that made these blackouts inevitable. Thanks to market-distorting policies that favor and subsidize wind and solar energy, Texas has added more than 20,000 megawatts (MW) of those intermittent resources since 2015 while barely adding any natural gas and retiring significant coal generation.And what happens when your population grows and you don't grow your reliable energy generation infrastructure to match it? Texas has been subsidizing the heck out of wind and solar:
Research by the Texas Public Policy Foundation's Life:Powered project found that more than $80 billion of our tax dollars have been spent on wind and solar subsidies in the last decade, in federal subsidies alone. Texans are also charged an average of $1.5 billion a year in state subsidies for renewable energy.A similar story plays out on California, where years of incompetence, interference and downright stupidity has meant that despite having the Sierra Nevadas right there they never build any water infrastructure. So when they get their occasional Big Rain Events they have to let trillions of gallons of fresh water flow back to the ocean.
His grade? Fail, of course.
Stupidity. Poor governance.
100% on democrats.
