The problem is simple really. Green energy can’t handle bad weather. Texas has made a huge green energy investment and fossil fuel energy sources have been on the decline since...2008. Atomic energy has also been demonized. While the article states that ‘Most of the power knocked offline came from thermal sources’ that is a number based on total wattage output, not total production sources, and those outages were caused not only by weather but by cascading failures related to wind sources. The article attempts to assert that the failures were due to lack of investment but truly the failures were caused by relying on wind energy that isn’t ready for prime time and will never be resilient enough in the face of dramatic weather events.
