Three years after a historic winter storm knocked out power in Texas that tragically killed 246 people, the blame game is still going on. Those who are ideologically opposed to clean energy continue to blame wind and solar for power failures, no matter how many times the facts have debunked this misinformation.
And it doesn’t stop with Texas. Despite evidence to the contrary, special interests view any power outage during a storm as an opportunity to point the finger at renewable energy.
As a lead analyst for the renewable energy industry, I closely monitor the growth of this industry and how it contributes month by month, day by day and hour by hour to our nation’s energy mix.
The truth is that extreme cold weather, particularly in areas like Texas that have power systems not designed to withstand harsh winter conditions, is detrimental to most sources of power.
