  1. The first day Governor Abbott was on the local Dallas Fox news station and said that the issue was with Gas fired generators. Two hours later he was on Sean Hannity and said it was wind power generation. The Green New Deal was not even a law at the time. Another issue is that in times of extreme demand. ERCOT pays large users to go offline and utilize their backup systems. One group of large users were the plants that supply the natural gas to the gas fired power plants. The NG suppliers were paid to go offlgrid and their back up power systems failed. Resulting in no fuel to the Gas fired generators. Now here a couple of other things. As of 2022 Texas has the most installed wind generation capacity in the United States. Except that installed capacity does not mean squat when the turbines have to be shuttered in the PanHandle because there is not enough installed infrastructure to carry the load. This happened in the summer of 2022. They had to turn off the wind generators because they were producing too much power.The transmission lines could not handle it. By contract and if supply chain problems do not cause problems. Texas is on track to be number 2 for installed grid scale solar capacity.. Grid storage systems are being built all over the state in sharo contrast to the rhetoric being used by our elected and non elected officials.
