Maybe they're an especially egregious example because of how fucked up their power grid is, but odds are it's not gonna be that much better when the rest of the country gets their own unique climate disaster.

But it's not even true that wind did badly, renewables in Texas are performing at expected levels. It's the natural gas power plants that are the big problem in the cold. But good luck telling that to some chud, as you said republicans will just blame it on the democrats for pushing renewables and hope everyone forgets about it.
We did have some wind turbines freeze but a, that doesn’t account for the catastrophic level of failure bc we still mostly get our energy from gas plants like you said. And b, it’s because the wind generators weren’t properly winterize bc texas skimps out on infrastructure any chance it gets. They work fine in other colder states and in Europe we just purposely didn’t prepare for this, I’m not entirely sure they didn’t consciously do it so they could politicize it like this when it inevitably hit the fan.
