To the anti renewable crowd.
The facts are simply this. Texas energy infracture is hardened against heat as that iscwhat we deal with year in and year out. Arctic Temps? Forget it. We have above groundcwater and gas lines and neither are insulated. So when we get this kind of cold waterline freeze which means no water for the powerplants and that means no power. Gas line valves froze up because they were not insulated. So no gas means no power. Simply put lessons from 2011 were not learned and now we are left with the question of will the lessons of 2021 be implemented. In otherwords are power providers going to do such simple things as installing insulation on pipes.
