This week, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott appeared on local TV in Dallas and blamed the state's power crisis on the devastating storm that disrupted power generation and froze natural gas pipelines.
He didn't single out one power source to blame. Then he went on Fox News and gave a different story.
"Wind and solar got shut down," he said. "They were collectively more than 10% of our power grid, and that thrust Texas into a situation where it was lacking power on a statewide basis."
He wasn't alone. Former Energy Secretary Rick Perry also pointed to frozen windmills and warned that this crisis showed the perils of promoting renewable energy.
I read it. I've read several articles that all say the same thing. Where's the condescending part?No, The Blackouts In Texas Weren't Caused By Renewables. Here's What Really Happened
Important Info: NPR'S Corporate Sponsors reads like a list of Who's Who in the liberal activists community.
It's organized propaganda.

you know....even if this was caused by the windmills freezing (which it was not) that is still not the fault of renewable energy. It is the fault of the greedy power companies that made the business decision not to winterize them.
mediabiasfactcheck is my go to source for evaluating the honesty and integrity of a "news" source.Great example of what fox does to their viewers.
Reality........

From what I understand about ALL Power Grids, there is a system by which all parts of the grid contribute to help overcome shortfalls in particular areas.
When a locality fails, then other localities contribute and must "work" harder to make up the deficiency and still cover their own needs. Texas, for reasons only they understand, is a stand alone and not connected to other states' grids.
In this case, the 10% share of power generated by the Green Alternatives was stopped and the other generation sources of the Texas Grid were overworked causing a cascade that took down the system.
The cold seems to have been a once in a generation kind of an event.
The blaming by AOC and the defenses offered by Abbot seem to be politics.
I find it to be just a bit confusing that excessive cold is blamed on Global Warming, but that's just me.

The reason Texas has it's own grid is very well understood... We did it to avoid oversight by federal oversight by FERC and allow our utilities to be privatized and deregulated... There is no big mystery here...
You're about to witness years of litigation, possibly decades, under an avalanche of democratic lawyers attempting to wrest control of the states energy on behalf of the elite class. It will all be wrapped up and presented under the guise of Climate Crisis!
NPR practices fairness, it is a refreshing listen on the radio.in other words, NPR flushes bullshit propaganda effectively. my main criticism of them is that they interview right wing propagandists occasionally and let them spew their bullshit. i don't like having to turn the radio off after giving it the middle finger while i'm driving. it's best to have both hands available for driving, to paraphrase Jim Morrison.
Using false narratives like elite class and globalists and then equating them to DEMs is another dishonest GOP boogieman. GOP globalists are the robber barons.You're about to witness years of litigation, possibly decades, under an avalanche of democratic lawyers attempting to wrest control of the states energy on behalf of the elite class.

A factual search reveals that NPR has not failed a fact check.
- Overall, we rate NPR (National Public Radio) Left-Center Biased based on story selection that leans slightly left and Very High for factual reporting due to thorough sourcing and very accurate news reporting.
NPR (National Public Radio) - Bias and Credibility
LEFT-CENTER BIAS These media sources have a slight to moderate liberal bias. They often publish factual information that utilizes loaded words (wordingmediabiasfactcheck.com
When a news outlet like NPR publishes something that members of the Right don't like, the immediate jump on the "fakes news" or "organized propaganda" mantra because OH MY GOD - THEY PRINTED SOMETHING TRUTHFUL! - HOW DREADFUL!

Soros, Gates, Bezos, Buffet, Bloomberg......Bull shit! Biden is rejoining America to the elite European class as we speak. Soros, Gates, Bezos, Buffet, Bloomberg, and K Street super pacs outspend conservative donors by far. Further, liberals have captured the media and academia as well to fill out their chorus of screeching.
Soros, Gates, Bezos, Buffet, Bloomberg......
