Lefties really deny science. Nat Gas literally saved the day. Renewables caused this and its not even the first time. Expect far more in the future.

Yeah, no. Wind output was already highly variable and the loss from shutdowns was negligible compared to total load. Plants couldn't get gas because others needed it for heating, and their pipes were freezing because they hadn't winterized.
Have you never stopped to wonder why you can find wind farms (and natural gas plants) at Northern latitudes where it regularly gets colder than what Texas experienced, as if these same areas don't experience weather like this every year?
