The 2020 incident? Texas failed because they didn't properly winterize their infrastructure. Not because they were using green energy. It was almost entirely gas that failed.

Also there are a number of ways to store and transfer energy.

The real issue in Texas was unregulated capitalism. Energy prices skyrocketed like 6000% at the time, because they could get away with it.

I live in Minnesota and those idiots are charging me for their lack of preparation.

Yes, I did not mean to imply it was due to green energy. I just wanted to point out how important reliability is.
