This has put the issue front and center, that the green insanity must stop. For example, the Kansas Senate Utilities Committee Chairman Sen. Mike Thompson (R-Shawnee) said on Facebook this week, “Wind turbines are frozen up. Solar is useless. This is why the expansion of renewables is dangerous for us going forward.

They are using the disaster to say there must be more and more coordinated low-tech energy, e.g.,. Kansas state Rep. Drandon Woodard (D-Lenexa) tweeted during this week’s emergency, “Long term: we MUST address an energy plan for the State of Kansas to encourage power storage, microgrids, and a move to renewable energy sources....”
