Driven almost entirely by politics, not market demand, wind and solar power now account for approximately 28 percent of Texas' electric power supply.
Data from the Electric Reliability Council of Texas showed that five days before the first snowflake fell, wind and solar provided 58 percent of the state's electric power.
Clouds formed, temperatures dropped, and winds temporarily stalled, resulting in more than half the wind and solar power going offline in three days, never to return during the storm.
As California's power grid has grown ever "Greener," Californians have had to get used to rolling blackouts and brownouts each summer.
California has the distinction of having simultaneously the nation's worst air quality, among the highest gasoline and electric power prices, the most electricity generated by renewable sources, and the least-reliable electric power grid.
Despite having abundant coal and one of the most reliable power systems in the world, Australia also jumped on the renewable energy bandwagon over the past decade.
When the wind has flagged, Australia's energy regulator imposed rolling brownouts and power cuts at certain industrial facilities to keep the entire grid from collapsing.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
