When the power went out, Texas oil and gas regulators rushed to defend the industry’s image
Members of the Texas Railroad Commission were quick to blame renewable energy for power outages across the state. All sources of energy struggled to produce power during the storm.

Good to see that the politicians and regulators know their place and respond when the whip is cracked... /end sarcasm
