I worked in a gas refinery and knew exactly wtf happened... It is simple math.
Your WSJ article was a political hit piece that had no relevance to this situtation (sic). That you were too dense to understand that fact then and now,....does not suprise (sic) me.

As far as "simple math" is concerned, the WSJ did its homework. It looked up data tracked by the EIA. You've offered nothing, nada, zilch to refute it:
Between 12 a.m. on Feb. 8 and Feb. 16, wind power plunged 93% while coal increased 47% and gas 450%, according to the EIA.
Instead of asking why did wind power (which was meeting 42% of your state's electricity demand) crash on a dime, you're all hung up on the question of why couldn't your offline gas-fired generators ramp up their Kwh output on a dime by 800% or more instead of only 450%? You want to heap all the blame on the latter, and none on the former, while you glibly and vaguely spout "weatherize!" as your brilliant catch-all solution to fix everything, without offering any details that might reflect serious knowledge of what equipment failed and why.
But yeah, it's "simple math" and you "knew exactly what happened" because you once emptied wastebaskets at the Pumpjack Oil Company 40 years ago lol.
