“On Fox News, Tucker Carlson asserted: "The windmills failed like the silly fashion accessories they are, and people in Texas died."

This is egregiously false. Wind power generation always tends to decline during the winter, and the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), which manages the Texas power grid, plans for this. Indeed, on Monday wind was exceeding its expected output, and though wind output fell on Tuesday, solar was making up much of the difference.

As Princeton engineering professor Jesse Jenkins points out, the real primary culprit was the mass failure of nuclear, coal, and natural gas (or "thermal") power plants. At the peak of the blackout something like 27,000 megawatts of thermal capacity were offline — or nearly 40 percent of Texas's entire thermal capacity. So far it is unclear which plants exactly were down, but it seems that it was mainly natural gas to blame, as pipes were frozen and the extreme cold stoked high demand for gas heating. But the cold also knocked out some coal capacity and at least one nuclear power plant, and also damaged a lot of transmission infrastructure.

I really could do this all day, and post hundreds of articles saying the same thing “fossil fuels failed Texans.”

LIAR!!!
Where did ever say pipelines froze?

Come on, TRT.  Why can’t we come together and support more government/taxpayer money for all sources of energy; Instead of he said/he said?  I’ll forgive you for parroting some of Tucker’s talking points, and we can agree on the govt regulating energy companies to make them more reliable, efficient, and sustainable.

I could care less if you forgive me or not. I don't watch Tucker, never particularly cared for him. Larry Kudlow however has been close to the deceit Dems have planned for the US in the immediate future. If getting together means keeping fossils online while allowing green energy to develop, I'm okay with that. That's not what's going on.

Anybody looking to be lied to by the left can go on the internet and find the liberal talking points. The Austin American-Statesman is in fact a Texas media outlet and a respected one at that. Politifact is anything but biased for the conservative side and they are not about to give up any props to support them on something that would be as thin as you're trying to let on. The collaborative leftist Academia, especially the pinch nosed elitists of the IVY League, are, and are going to be all-in on making any contribution they can towards the fulfillment of the liberal wish list now that they have the white house and both houses of congress.

They're doing their part, you're doing your part. It's all still a pack of lies meant to drum up public support for the green new deal. You're not fooling anybody other than vector. BTW, is it not about time you pm'd him with more liberal drivel to put up?
