So now the left says this is proof that texas needs more renewable resources..

Considering part of the problem is that the wind turbines all froze up, I’m not sure they are going to like what reality has to say about that.

As if the Marxist, Communist filth lives anywhere that resembles reality.
They make their reality in the media and many people believe this fantasy land of utopia.

How is this renewables fault?

Outages (pre-scheduled maintenance).

You can always count on the Left to double down on stupid as a solution. 60+ years of history and counting as solid proof.

All I know is my neighbors Generac generator has not run out of natural gas yet.
The problem is not the energy source it’s the power generation stations. We need a number of different and diverse energy sources.

F**k them. I’d they money was spent on weathering the gas systems instead of paying for stupid crap there would not be this bad problem. You can’t fool Mother Nature. She gave us O&G and coal. And the ability to harness its power for mankind. Then the dumbest of mankind decided it knew better and Viola....California comes to town.

Just like I said...the Dims will blame this on big bad "oil", aka fossil fuels, and the media will pump it up and spout its "truth" to the hilltops and 60% of the country will believe it when this is said and done.
It will happen without a doubt.

I read somewhere that some of the generation plants were offline due to them not meeting greenhouse emissions. Had they been online we would have been just fine.
Wind and solar are expected to be latent during extreme cold which is the problem with "green" energy. They throttled down the gas generators to the point the lines froze and once they're frozen, there isn't much you can do.
This is a fabricated disaster to push the Paris Accord horseshite and they'll manipulate the message any way they can to fit their narrative. At this point it seems Ercot and Oncor are complicit in this mess.
The ERCOT and ONCOR messaging has been terrible starting Sunday. No real communication has been given. And their management of this situation will be the reason billions of unnecessary repairs are needed.

Wind Turbines froze up.
We haven’t seen the sun for a week.
We don’t have enough water.
Mental retardation strikes again.

Texas could just hang on to the Energy they produce and see what happens

Others were operating at reduced capacity because of caps on their emissions...

Fault?
I think you are looking at this through the wrong lens. Wind and Solar aren't scalable, and actually are unreliable during these events.
While there were some reliability issues with Natural gas, etc., almost all of the scaling up to meet demand occurred via Natural Gas.
In other words, even though there were power generation plants offline, Natural Gas was still able to meet more demand than normal while renewables was able to meet less than normal.

I mean can’t say I’m surprised by this. Even when their policies blow up in their face they still act like their policies aren’t the problem. If anything they use it to push more of their agenda. Another great example is sanctuary cities. Innocent people get murdered all the time by illegal immigrants, but yet they continue to push for open border policies. I don’t understand how any sane normal person could vote Democrat in today’s world.

The windmills here are frozen, lol.

This is a - maybe - twice a lifetime event. If you live to be really old - maybe three times in a lifetime event.
Hurricanes are, arguably, more destructive, and occur almost annually.
It's unfortunate.
It's inconvenient.
I feel for the people who died because of the cold, too.
But next week Texas will repair this crap and move on, while California will still have brown-outs this summer, lol.
