Spinning the Still Windmills
What to Know: Defenders of renewable energy are working overtime to claim that frozen wind turbines weren’t a major factor in the state’s power outages.
The TPPF Take: Solving this problem in the long term will require that we face facts, not spin.
“As this week’s power outages developed, the prevailing narrative devolved further and further from the facts,” said TPPF’s Kevin Roberts. “It’s been a hard few days for Texans, many of whom are still cold and hungry. It is not an overstatement to say, unfortunately, that terrible policy decisions and poor management thereafter will cost some Texans their lives. There are hard days still to come, but it’s our hope that these events are a wakeup call to those in power that energy is not just important to our economy, but an integral part of our survival.”
