> The Governor of Texas just got on Hannity to bad mouth a New Green Deal as people died in Texas cause no one cared enough to make sure the wind turbines worked in the cold.
Of course even the wind turbine issue is a canard given that Texas installed a regime that ensured no reserve capacity. Point the finger at wind turbines is absurd since wind only account for 10% of the Texas grid, and Germany isn’t having blackouts even though they also have frozen turbines right now.
This craven scapegoating and deflection when there’s a crisis going on that, which every economist agrees is a policy failure to properly incentive reserve capacity, really pisses me off.
