Too much snark
The March 12 letter âEnergy failureâ was unnecessarily snarky. Yes, you can still use solar panels when thereâs 6 feet on snow on the ground, but what about in the middle of a heavy snowstorm? Whoâs going to stand outside and sweep all the panels?
Nevertheless, I concede, the Texas energy grid failed because of the grid itself, not because of wind turbines. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott was wrong to try to blame the problem on âgreenâ energy â it was the failure of his administration and previous Republican administrations to hold their energy supplier liable. And now Texans are having to pay millions for the privilege of thumbing their noses at the feds.
