Why They Are Blaming Windmills And Solar Panels

**Why did this happen?** Texas leaders failed to heed warnings that left state's power grid vulnerable to winter extremes, experts say. An absolute must-read from @McGeeReports @erinmdouglas23 @jsmccullou https://t.co/Q9bPXJgiei #txlege

...and AOC into the bargain. Let’s make this perfectly clear:

Green energy has been a political punching bag for Texas Republicans and Gov. Greg Abbott during devastating power outages.

But experts and officials say that a disruption in energy powered by fossil fuels was the biggest culprit behind Texas' outages. https://t.co/HWOhv1FERp

Why are they running out of water? No power for the pumps, in some cases.

Cities across Texas warned residents today that water levels are dangerously low and may be unsafe to drink. Read more here: https://t.co/Y8tKQNj718 https://t.co/sH1vrK8Vom

Texas was warned it needed to heat pipes, insulate control panels & take other steps to keep producing power amid bitter cold after Arctic blasts in 2011 and 1989.

It's happened again. https://t.co/YPGRHuF4Kv w @AriNatter

Yeah, it’s AOC’s fault.

We look like a third-world country, run by gibberish yahoo’s and tin-pot wannabe dictators. A failed country, with clowns for leaders.
