Um you might want to learn a little something. Texas has become one of the most dependent on wind energy in the nation. Natural gas was being used so fast to try and replace the wind energy that the gas wells actually froze off so they were next to useless. The dependence on wind actually screwed them.Natural Gas & de-regulated Electric Grid Failed Texas last Winter.

You are correct up to a point...Yes they are, fool. Everything that happens elsewhere has ripples felt in the USA. Shortages of natural gas in Europe are pushing up the prices in the USA, because prices are set globally.
I see you do not understand anything of what you read. Not really surprising considering you are long on crazy opinions but short on intelligence. If you had bothered to read what I wrote or what was in the article you posted you would have noticed that the natural gas wells froze off because of the high demand. Which caused less gas to be used to replace the lost power. So while you are attempting to discredit someone you really should have facts instead of just your crackpot guessesNot true at all. Texas has very little wind power at all, and it wasn't the solar grid that failed.
No, frozen wind turbines aren’t the main culprit for Texas’ power outages
Lost wind power was expected to be a fraction of winter generation. All sources — from natural gas, to nuclear, to coal, to solar — have struggled to generate power during the storm that has left millions of Texans in the dark.www.texastribune.org
That was the lie that Greg Abbott used and like the good parrot you are, here you are repeating it.

Just more of that good job Biden and the leftoids are doing.

“We’ve actually had discussions with power utilities who are concerned that they simply will have to implement blackouts this winter,” Ernie Thrasher, the head of Xcoal Energy & Resources, was quoted by Bloomberg News as saying. “They don’t see where the fuel is coming from to meet demand.”He added that utilities are switching from natural gas to coal during the fall and winter months to keep up with the demand.The global demand for power has increased as economies attempt to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, triggering natural gas shortages primarily in Europe and Asia.Power producers including Duke Energy have warned customers that bills may spike during this winter. Duke’s Piedmont Natural Gas unit stated Tuesday that higher gas prices and low production will raise customer bills by approximately $11 per month in North and South Carolina.“That whole supply chain is stretched beyond its limits,” Thrasher, whose Pennsylvania-based company works in coal logistics, said. “It’s going to be a challenging winter for us here in the United States.”Meanwhile, the New York State Public Service Commission told Bloomberg it is monitoring utilities in New York to determine whether there’s enough fuel for the winter.“The utilities have hedged approximately 70 percent” of their residential electricity needs, the agency said, adding that it expects to meet demand this season.The benchmark U.S. natural gas contract has been rallying, lately hitting seven-year highs, but its $5.62 per million British thermal units price is a far cry from the $30-plus being paid in Europe and Asia, Reuters noted.However, the U.S. market is worried about the coming cold, particularly in New England and California—where prices for gas to be delivered this winter are far above the nationwide benchmark. In New England, buyers are expecting gas to cost more than $20 per million British thermal units.In New England, gas for January delivery is soaring, trading this week at more than $22 at the region’s Algonquin hub, which would be the highest price paid in a month since January and February of 2014.
Energy Crisis May Trigger Winter Blackouts Across US: Coal Firm CEO

Try concrete too. The concrete plant is across the highway from the power plant.One of the byproducts of burning coal is drywall.
Yes, the walls in every home and apartment and office building is made from the leftovers after burning coal. There is a drywall plant located near every coal burning facility in America...for a good reason.
You are ignorant. And on ignore. Bye.
Texas will adapt. California will not.Not true at all. Texas has very little wind power at all, and it wasn't the solar grid that failed.

Good. Might wake some of the idiots up.
Read your own link you crazy fool. Wells in northern states are insulated. They do not do that in Texas as what was experienced is extremely unusual for this area. Going off your own link which you seem unable to read.That excuse is even dumber and less believable than the windmills froze.
This is going to come as a total shock to you, but in Canada where we get really fucking cold winters, our gas wells don’t freeze, and our windmills work just fine in the cold.
The Texas power grill grid failed because it wasn’t built to work in cold weather. The power companies were told to fix this 10 years ago, but they didn’t. That you believe anything other than the fact that the power grid is inadequate to your needs, shows how stupid and gullible you really are.
You should spend more time checking out the “facts” that you post than declaring other posters crazy.
