Its not Texas, its California and Virginia, nothing about wind and solar was working in Texas during those snow storms in Texas either. Not having nuclear guarantees you are burning more fossile fuels due to the need for backup generators, my cluster started over 150 large diesel generators due to a power outage yesterday. That's only my company, you could probably triple that for all the other data centers, hospitals, etc.

Texas gas plants failed due to cold weather freezing gas pipes. Some wind failed because they cheap skated on winterisation.
