Re:The Texas power outage is a nation-wide problem by qqqwerty on Friday February 19, 2021 @02:43AM (#26190639)
It is not rocket science. If you are in the business of selling oil and gas, you ideally consume as little of it as possible. Solar and wind are cheaper sources of energy but they aren't easily transported. So Texas is using solar/wind to both cut costs and allow them to export more of their petrochemicals.
