| Image summarizes the devastation to electricity production from frozen wind turbines. Natural gas plants are the heroes even though some natural gas production and distribution was affected by the freeze. Hat tip InstaPundit: |

| #3 solar - well, solar is off at night. Solar is also off for weeks when panels are covered with ice and snow (unless they build in electric deicers/sarc). |

| #2 What if we get Al Gore to crank up the sun a few gigawatts and warm thing up a bit? Know it sounds counterintuitive but it couldn't hurt. |

| #1 I suppose that chart showing wind failing and gas picking up the slack came from USEIA site. Look at the graph from Feb. 7 to Feb. 17 and you can see wind was much less at the end of the period and gas much higher. Coal mostly constant, nuclear nearly dead flat, and solar - well, solar is off at night. All power sources crashed early Tuesday morning, Feb. 15. Gas fell the hardest. But it fell from three times what it was the week before. Go hug a fracker! |
