But they haven't deliberately moved a large portion of - their energy production to wind

Posted: Feb 19th, 2021 - 1:31 pm In Reply to: And yet they have perfectly fine wind turbines - in Canada and Antarctica

while decreasing the overall percent buffer of energy production. Wind is inherently unreliable.

It wasn't cold so much in Texas that stopped production. It was lack of wind, with a high energy demand because of cold.

There wasn't enough extra capacity to meet the increased demand, which then caused a cascade of shutting down fossil fuel plants and nuclear, to protect the plants.
