[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 3526467, member: 3099"] That's a valid point and about the only justification to be made IMO. I'm also of the opinion that wind and solar have been wayyyyyy over implemented. [USER=6668]@trekrok[/USER] is correct. For every megawatt of a renewable capacity you [B]HAVE TO HAVE[/B] a megawatt of conventional capacity to take over. I strongly suspect that they've surpassed the excess or overcapacity which historically was used in high demand scenarios and have now grown to rely on the renewable capacity. What happened in Texas was a failure of weatherization implementation. That costs money and they've spent it on renewables instead since these events are so rare there. It has officially yanked down their drawers and bit them in the ass. Their ass is now showing but they are trying to say it isn't. [/QUOTE]
