Texas is thanking their renewables

Wind and solar power are 'bailing out' Texas amid record heat and energy demand | CNN

Energy experts told CNN the Texas electric grid is holding up well this week in large part to strong performances from renewable energy.

But unlike previous extreme weather events in Texas which led to deadly blackouts, the grid is holding up remarkably well this week. Several experts told CNN that it's owed in large part to strong performances from wind and solar, which generated 27 gigawatts of electricity during Sunday's peak demand -- close to 40% of the total needed.

It's a good thing that you clarified that the renewables are working well this week. Because a few weeks ago when temperatures were over 100 degrees in Texas, wind power was $hitting the bed.

it's as if the D's don't realize that when the wind stops blowing, they sit in the dark.

The wind 💨 was blowing hard and the sun 🌞 was out on Sunday. That’s what it tells us.

And on days like that, we get to hear about the benefits of Renewables from Paoli. Other days, not so much.

That sounds unlikely
