The democratic proposition, in policy, in rhetoric, in action, has always been a transition from fossil fuels to renewables and storage, which this ERCOT news is completely consistent with.
The future of resilience is batteries, not gas. Most of these new gas generators will be stranded assets within a decade.
Additionally the part of the picture missing in this announcement is retirements, which are of course all fossil fuel.
