    It is high. Fossil fuel is about 65 percent, wind 22 percent, and nuclear 10 percent.

    On February 16, ERCOT reported that 87% of total power shortages was caused by natural gas and coal generator outages, while only 13% of the shortages was caused by wind turbine outages.

    I agree. Sounds like Margorie herself with stating stuff that's not true. But, Margorie is full of it and spreading her BS to thousands of QAnon and radical types.

    That's probably what he meant then. The outages themselves.

    or he read that as well

    but still, it's 75% non renewable vs 25% reneweable

    if you really care about truth and honesty, look here first

    "Millions of people have suffered in TX with #rollingblackouts & some died bc of reliance on “green” energy."

    We really agree on this. There are a bunch of people you need to hold to this standard, starting with our most recent POTUS and dozens of his most ardent anablers, including that nutcase from Georgia, MTG.

    And liberals, if we are going to be the group dealing in facts, then yeah, don't spout off "90%" without knowing your ****. Just gets us closer to the next Dark Ages along with the crazies.
