Texas has the same pattern as Europe; higher percentages of solar and wind, resulting in an overdependence on gas.

And the latter part is wrong: France is mostly nuckear, Germany to a huge extent coal, gas has close to no significance when it comes to electricity in Germany. Norway is hydro, as is Austria.

And the share of renewables in Texas was negligible when the frid broke down, that was due to failing gas power plants because of low temperatures.
