This is a complete mischaracterization of why these things occurred. It has nothing to do with renewables - it has everything to do with aging infrastructure: * In California, we haven't kept up with climate change and made the grid safe for the new normal of high heat, high wind, and dangerous fire conditions. * In Texas, they didn't keep up with climate change and crazy events like the winter storm they had this year. They also have a screwed up operational model but that is a side point. This will get worse and worse as the climate changes and also as we attempt to electrify everything to try to address it. This is why investing in infrastructure right now is so important.
