Characterizing a true statement as “convenient for {x}” is low effort weaselspeak. > It’s too bad Texas is the only place on Earth it ever gets cold, otherwise we might have worked out better options someplace else… Snark is a poor substitute for actually knowing what you’re talking about. Texas is more reliant on wind generation than any other state, so of course it is more exposed to this failure mode than others.
