Republicans piled on the wind turbines that went down. But there was a factor they forgot to mention. Texas is weak on regulation as everyone knows. Some if not all of the turbines didn’t have freeze protection. That’s why some shutdown while federal regulation controlled turbines stayed going around the country and don’t have that problem. Also with our weak regulations a lot of the fossil fuel generators shutdown because there wasn’t adequate winterization. Add some generator stations were down for maintenance which is over seen by our weak regulatory system.
