What? That solar intermittence is perfectly predictable and part of the modeling thats submitted for interconnection. If you'll notice, PV had one down day most likely from cloud cover, then went higher due to clear skies and increased module efficiency even when the temps stayed cold.
I'm sure a lot of predictions come into play... In fact New York is supposed to be underwater right now.
According to the chart solar was pretty low on the totem pole. Maybe some of that was used to thaw out the windmills.

Now do the 2021 blackouts

There is no keeping coal fired on standby. The are tearing them down. It also takes hours if not days to power up coal fired generation. Gas is quick.
If the coal plant is running it can absolutely be spooled up in high demand or bleed off in low demand. Yes, if the coal plant is 100% idle it can't be started immediately.
It's not instantaneous but there is adjustability in those systems.
Gas fired plants are even more flexible with multiple stages and/or turbines that can be brought online/offline to increase output or shed load.

Again.
First wind isn't a major source of the winter mix and natty, as I provided earlier, had its problems. In fact:
quote:
Texas Governor Greg Abbott on Wednesday called for state officials to investigate natural gas distributor Atmos Energy Corp. after the company asked its Texas customers to curb natural gas usage during the recent winter freeze.
Abbott sent letters to the Texas attorney general and chair of the Texas Railroad Commission, which regulates the state’s massive oil and gas industry, asking the agencies to examine why Atmos was unable to provide natural gas services to customers. Residents around the state capital of Austin and across central Texas lost gas service needed to operate furnaces, stoves and water heaters early Friday.
“Atmos’ conduct is unacceptable, and concrete action must be taken by the RRC to ensure it is not repeated the next time that winter weather engulfs our state,” the letter to the Railroad Commission reads.
“Substantial evidence supports the conclusion that Atmos Energy either was unprepared for the winter weather system, failed to perform for its customers as promised, or both,” the letter to the Attorney General reads.

Additionally up in the Marcellus (PA & OH):
quote:
EQT Corp, the largest US natural gas producer, saw production drop by as much as about 30% during the recent bout of extreme cold that caused disruptions for some of its wells in the Appalachian Basin.
The drillers’ daily output fell by between 1 billion and 1.5 billion cubic feet per day during the winter storm, Chief Executive Officer Toby Rice said in a Bloomberg Television interview. That compares with production in the third quarter equivalent to about 5 billion cubic feet a day. Output issues are expected to be resolved in the “next couple of days,” he said.

The link in the OP is garbage...it's an advocacy site.

Wind power can still be useful when the weather is good.
It also rids us of millions of birds every year.

Lol nobody gives a shite about silly things like "facts". All they want is an excuse to shite on something that 99% of posters here know 0% about. Green energy = democrats = bad, gas & oil = conservative = good. That's literally as far as the logic goes.

Part of the irony is I'm pretty sure you and I have both worked most of our careers in fields closely related to oil and gas
It's always funny watching some discount rate attorney lecture the rest of us on how everything works
