Yet just a week ago, it was colder than Alaska, and we all know what happened next. Much of the state’s energy capacity got knocked offline, leaving millions of people without power, heat, and water for days.

In many ways, there couldn’t have been a worse part of the country for a cold snap like this to hit.

On Feb. 15, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), which manages the state’s electric grid, announced that a significant 30 gigawatts (GW) of electricity were offline because of icy conditions. Despite the rhetoric being pushed by some fossil fuel proponents, data from ERCOT documents that considerably more gigawatts of fossil fuel and nuclear sources were lost than renewables. ERCOT’s Senior Director of Systems Operations called offline wind energy “the least significant factor” in the blackouts, with frozen instruments at natural gas, coal and nuclear facilities playing a more important role, along with reduced supplies of natural gas.
