Amazing to see the GOP sheep following their orders ! The usual suspects are attacking wind again... in a Red State who wanted an independent Grid and bult the wind farms
Texas has the largest % of wind then any other state
So why would texas with all its gas and oil resources depend on wind
Because they don't depend on wind their to cheap and profit driven to build in redundancy their system
While in total denial why it's so hot worldwide to begin with and why their grid is so vulnerable to extreme weather and of course
The Texas Interconnection is maintained as a separate grid for political, rather than technical reasons, |

you say texas is too cheap and profit driven to expand its wind. you said in the same breath that they use more wind than any other state. So why aren’t you even more critical
of all the other 49 states that use wind even less than TX does? aren’t those states even more cheap and profit driven than TX?
Talk about wanting to have it both ways.

Baloney as usual
Just because you have some doesn’t make you a leader.
Texas only produces 4% of its power from renewable sources.
They have improved about 5% over the past five years.
Other states range from .75% to 100%

wdmso said texas has the most. so every other state is doing worse. but they only state he calls out, is the state that buses wind the most, because it’s texas.
makes all kinds of sense.

guess that Taco comment didn't go over too well....
NEW LOW: Biden approval rating hits all-time low, only 19% support among Hispanics, poll shows
President Biden's approval rating hit an all-time low of 31%
should start calling him "NEW LOW" Brandon

You really receive compensation for your skill with numbers?
Texas is a big state in size and population
It produces a lot of carbon per capita
It actually does more than most for renewables
It takes planning and intent to excel at renewables.
The future is not carbon based energy and failure to realize that puts us behind.

actually, he said TX had the largest percentage of wind if any state, not the highest absolute amount. So size has zero to do with it. he ranked percentage, not absolute production.
Any other stupidity you want to add? or are we good? sufficiently bitch slapped?

Actually Bitch, I posted
“Meanwhile in reality, Texas is the leading producer of wind power in the U.S. at 33 megawatts.”

he thinks a state that had no windmills and then adds a windmill therefore increasing it's wind production by 100% is better than one whose % increase is much lower because they have so many existing windmills...particularly if it's Texas or Florida because he hates Texas and Florida.....he's an idiot
June 7, 2022
HOUSTON — Texas leads the nation in wind power generation. It makes up about 20% of the state's energy usage.
Daniel Cohan, an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Rice University, said that's because of a major push made several years ago toward identifying competitive, renewable energy zones.
"The state got all sides together and made a plan with about $7 billion of investments in transmission lines, more than any other state was going at the time," Cohan said. "So the wind boom we've had was made possible by that foresight and innovative program."
So, how are the wind and solar farms helping to keep the lights on in Texas?
"If it hadn't been for the tremendous growth we've had, especially in solar the past few years, we would have already been experiencing rolling blackouts even with that heat wave we got in May and really can't imagine how the grid would handle this week's heat wave," Cohan said.

To bad Texas isn’t as redundant as. You are. Which your usual false equivalences.. ps get back to me when other states Fail like Texas grid has repeatedly.. you really should take some current history lessons .. it might help your blindness

you said TX has the highest % of wind, yet you criticized them for
not doing enough.
if you’re right that TX had the highest %, that necessarily means that CT and MA have a lower % from wind. But you won’t criticize them.
That’s some serious logic wayne.

You don’t follow to well do you? you can’t understand spending money on redundancy over all isn’t the the same thing as just building some wind farms .. to bad you can’t show we’re I criticized Texas wind
It’s the Texas government blaming renewables for their grid problems not me.. like I said you’re short on history .

who is attacking wind?...I love wind and solar, I spent May off the grid...solar was my source of electricity, I'm investigating a small, portable wind turbine because wind is persistent where I go in the spring and I love being off the grid..I'd be buying the new Subaru ev this fall if it wasn't the first year for it and I'd like to see better range....probably next year.....I hope they put a wall of wind turbines around Nantucket
I wonder how many electric vehicles pete, wayne, gs and paul drive currently... |

Take a RAV hybrid for a ride. 40+ MPG and 450mile range on mine. Good compromise until the next vehicle/ev for me. |
