In aggregate for the US, it is around 10%. According to ERCOT, it is about 16% 20% in Texas. If Texas had zero wind turbines, it would have no effect on the outages this week whatsoever.

EDIT: I was looking at a wikipedia chart attributed to ERCOT. No telling if it was accurate, or how old the data was. I'll accept the 20% number, but still ascertain that has little effect on how these power outages played out.

We didnt even have to build new plants, we could have just kept the ones we already had. I think what most people are blaming on the wind turbines is the fact that we built them to take the place of the coal plants and now that bit us in the butt. Had those plants been able or already online we would have been fine. Then the money issue, which is probably the root cause. Wind=subsidies

Short answer is they could built excess power generation plants to use in emergency situations like we have today.

Add it to your electric Bill each month for the next 20-30 years and listen to Us complain about the cost. If Texas did not have a closed grid system to avoid complying with Federal regulations we would have been past this day one.

Do you know why we don’t take any Bass home when we fish Welsh? Why is it such a great winter time fishery?

Because they contain Mercury from the coal used to fire the Welsh Plant, it’s a by product that goes out of the smoke stack with the steam.

Ercot stated yesterday that solar and wind accounted for about 13% of the reduced capacity seen this week. The other 87% was due to issues with natural gas and coal infrastructure.

This sounds about right when you factor in that only about 1/2 the windmills in Texas were shut down.

Yea just wait till most energy is wind or solar in the future we will see how those dems feel up north with all them rolling blackouts and complete blackouts happen during the winter.
Dems-"what were we thinking"
Conservatives-" you weren't thinking, so tell us how you liking that green new deal now" lol

No way you will ever get a democrat to admit any fault in their thinking. They will find something else to blame it on.
