On Friday, Feb. 19, 2021, The Associated Press reported on stories circulating online incorrectly asserting wind turbines freezing over in the cold weather were primarily responsible for Texans losing heat and electricity this week. Failures in natural gas, coal and nuclear energy systems were responsible for nearly twice as many outages as frozen wind turbines and solar panels combined, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, which operates the state�s power grid, said in a press conference Tuesday.

AUSTIN (Nexstar) � So far Sunday, Texas� power grid has avoided entering tight conditions, which can often lead to the Electric Reliability Council of Texas to request that Texans do what they can to conserve power.

The governor tweeted a screenshot of current power grid conditions from the ERCOT app.-- excerpt, rest at link above --

"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

It is telling that Abbott did not take the time to do this during last year's freeze, but instead was busy accepting the Global Wind Energy Award. https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases...-301225238.html
