This time, it’s an unprecedented — but, importantly, not unpredictable — stretch of cold weather and storms blanketing the entire state. Public and private sector leaders may try to say there’s no way they could have been prepared for this. That’s a line of bull that no Texan should accept.
Texas is an energy giant. This shouldn’t happen here. We have a large and diverse energy supply. The culprit here is a clear failure of preparation, period.

Mind boggling the right wants to blame wind power. Since when is that reliable? If turbines had not frozen over, they could have simply failed to turn because of a calm windless day. Nobody relies on wind for constant power.
