Rawstory has a left-wing bias....as well as trying to push tittering headlines & stories. Keep this in mind when you read their stories. Look for the facts in the coverage - which facts do you reject from this particular story.
Apparently, you didn't bother to read the part below. It demonstrates that the left-wing info that you are disseminating is disinformation and completely false. A good portion of electricity delivered to customers in the Dallas-Fort Worth and Austin areas is provided by wind farms in West Texas. With extreme cold weather, those wind turbines cannot operate, thus causing a shortage in renewable energy available for use. “There also aren’t enough natural gas producers in the state to make up the difference when those wind turbines aren’t available,” said Harral
I made no such implication. They are leaving stupid Lib policies. of course some of it is because of economics. I know personally several highly paid, highly educated, successful business owners (myself included) who have moved out of CA to various states, including TX, and others, because of moronic libtards.
Well. Duh. But the point was about whether paying up for more taxes gets your problems solved as a general principle. The answer is: It may or may not.
Stop pushing debunked bullshiat from blog websites. Here is reality... Wind Power Isn’t To Blame For Texas’ Electricity Crisis https://www.forbes.com/sites/joewal...for-texas-electricity-crisis/?sh=6b57e1c321b3 Topline As millions of Texans grapple with blackouts amid a winter storm, some observers have blamed frozen wind turbines for the power crisis, but state energy officials say Texas’ wind farms are a relatively small part ofthe overall problem. Key Facts Almost half of Texas’ wind power capacity was forced offline last weekend after Arctic temperatures froze scores of wind turbines, leading some conservative commentators to pin the blame for the state’s widespread power outages squarely on wind energy. In reality, wind turbine outages have been responsible for less than 13% of Texas’ total power shortages, the nonprofit electric grid overseer Energy Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) told Bloomberg and local news outlets on Tuesday. Cold weather has posed a problem for all forms of power generation, not just wind, state officials say: Brutal temperatures have caused vital equipment at natural gas and coal-fired power plants (which account for far more of the state’s electricity than wind) to freeze up, and oil and gas production have been hampered by shutdowns at wells, while refineries across the state have closed down as well. Demand has also soared as Texans use more energy to heat their homes, with ERCOT reporting the state set a new record for winter power consumption on Sunday evening, placing yet another strain on the state’s energy system. Crucial Quote “We’ve had some issues with pretty much every kind of generating capacity in the course of this multi-day event,” ERCOT staffer Dan Woodfin told Bloomberg. Big Number 22.9%. That’s the share of Texas’ electricity that came from wind power last year, making it the state’s second-largest energy source after natural gas, according to ERCOT figures. But ERCOT forecasted that wind turbines would produce just 10% of the state’s total electricity over the winter, meaning a wintertime dip in efficiency was largely expected. Tangent A chorus of pundits have used Texas’ electricity crisis to suggest wind power is pointless. Fox News host Tucker Carlson on Monday called wind turbines “silly fashion accessories” and argued Texas’ recent shift to wind power was a fatal mistake, and the Wall Street Journal editorial board argued the state’s blackouts prove fossil fuels are still necessary. Key Background Millions of Texans began losing electricity early Monday morning after frigid temperatures caused simultaneous supply and demand crises, leaving large parts of the state with intermittent or continuous blackouts for some of the coldest days on record. Some power companies have told customers to expect blackouts to continue for hours or days, and ERCOT says it’s unclear when service will be restored.

It Texas was still on coal fired plants rather than natgas, this situation would not have occured. They switched to natgas because natgas plants are more environmentally friendly.
LOL Needle pegged to the left in the meter you use so often, and it's "left wing bias". The equivalent on the right would have you say "alt-right garbage". You're so fair and balanced, GWB.
You didn't imply it? LO then states it explicitly. You may be retarded. Scratch that. Your last is empirical proof.
