Meanwhile in reality, Texas is the leading producer of wind power in the U.S. at 33 megawatts.
And the power problems in Texas have nothing to do with alternative energy, it's because of Abbott’s refusal to mandate grid weatherization.
Because socialism and freedum

ERCOT expects power usage will reach 77,544 megawatts on Tuesday, topping the grid's all-time high of 74,820 MW set in August 2019
July 20,2022 "When the wind ebbs, however, it’s an entirely different story. Take last week. Demand for power topped out at about 78 gigawatts. Yet, the grid operator had to beg residents and businesses to reduce power use because wind was sluggish."

LAST NOVEMBER -The line they decided to feed the Washington Post was that things could not possibly get worse for Biden. They argued that his approval rating, which had just fallen to a record low of 42 percent while his disapproval rating hovered around 52.7 percent, had nowhere to go but up.
People “who spoke on the condition of anonymity to share private conversions” told the Post that “many administration officials and allies contend that the state of affairs cannot get worse, thinking that Biden and the Democrats have hit their floor in negative approval ratings.”
On Thursday, Biden hit another new low, according to RealClearPolitics, averaging 36.8 percent approval and a 57.5 percent disapproval.
Since the day Biden officials claimed the president had hit his floor, his approval rating has declined 5.2 percentage points while his disapproval rating has grown 4.8 percentage points. Biden is now more unpopular than any other American president since the end of World War II.
A New York Times/Siena poll earlier this month pinned the number at a shockingly horrible 33 percent approval and 60 percent disapproval.
I think Brandon got Covid from his approval ratings.

Gigawatts are not equal to megawatts, but global warming is due to fossil fuels

in a sane world, he’d concede you have a point. in this world, he’ll still
insist he’s right and you’re wrong.
