Green energy sources are not to blame for the winter storm Uri power blackouts in Texas, experts say.
More than 4.2 million people were left without power after a rare cold front brought record-breaking freezing conditions to the state.
Fox News host Tucker Carlson, among others, has tried to point the finger at renewable energy sources such as wind turbines for the rolling blackouts seen in the state.
“So it was all working great until the day it got cold outside. The windmills failed like the silly fashion accessories they are, and people in Texas died,” said Carlson on his Monday show.

"Frozen wind turbines are one culprit in Texas’s power outages BY Bloomberg February 15, 2021, 9:02 PM PST Don’t point too many fingers at Texas wind turbines, because they’re not the main reason broad swaths of the state have been plunged into darkness."

I couldn’t read the entire article. The plain fact people need to remember is as wind and solar energy approach 40% of the power of the overall grid, or a portion of the grid it will be prone to blackouts. I will look to see if I can find this article elsewhere.
