It is surely a bad sign for renewables.....no matter how poorly they are prepared for cold weather in Texas. I'd argue a bigger issue is our piss poor electrical grid. We don't have the capability to get power where we need it, when we need it, in cases when SHTF. Instead of the New Green Deal, we need to be putting money into our utility and other public infrastructure. Until then, get a generator and more importantly for the lineman out there, a transfer switch to keep them safe when you're running it!
But I still say renewables keep gaining ground. We'll be running our country on renewables and gas powerplants, with "peaker" plants ready to take on addtional load. If our power grid can get it where it needs to be!
