Wind, solar and hydro power are all carbon-free, that’s for sure (so is nuclear power generation but the left hates that, too)- but their technologies are nowhere near advanced to the point they can completely supplant fossil fuel-driven energy creation. And yet, that is precisely what the left seeks to do anyway, and in far too many places, these nut jobs are succeeding.

Like in Texas.

The oil-and-gas capital of our country could not even sustain enough power generation last week to keep the lights on and the water treatment plants working. And why?
