No, The Blackouts In Texas Weren't Caused By Renewables. Here's What Really Happened

MSgt Steve Sweeney - I have been posting articles about Germany’s green energy problems. There are other articles. Of course the agenda driven media in America won’t publish the truth so don’t expect to read or hear about it in the American press. https://worldnewsera.com/news/startups/germanys-green-energy-failure-germany-turns-back-to-coal-and-natural-gas-as-millions-of-its-solar-panels-are-blanketed-in-snow-and-ice-tech-news-startup/

MSgt Steve Sweeney - yes, the problem with your analogy is cars demonstrated a level of reliability not seen in green energy. There were two serious pollution problems the internal combustion engine solved. The first was horse manure, cities were drowning in it. The second was gasoline ponds. People had switched from whale oil to kerosene for lighting and heat also fuel oil for heat. A by product of petroleum distillation was gasoline. Refineries had large settling ponds for the gas to evaporate. The walls f the ponds broke on occasion and occasionally the ponds blew up. If you really care you can look up the difficulty Europe is having this winter with “green energy “ . It isn’t just Germany.

MSgt Steve Sweeney - internal combustion engines are supposedly a big cause of the climate warming crises, never mind we are coming out of an Ice age. I look at it like we are trading a reliable energy source for an unreliable source that is very environmentally damaging. I believe the full environmental cost of green energy isn’t fully appreciated. China produces much of the green Ener products like solar panels and wind turbines so the pollution the production of pollution from production is not here but in China.

SFC Bernard Walko - I agree. I found a study that stated 20% of Texas energy was “renewable” , predominantly wind turbines. A large portion of the turbines froze. This put the grid in a energy hole. Increased demand overloaded a system that was already starting to falter.
