Green energy is the problem (or better said, a major factor contributing to the problem) if your energy grid depends heavily (significantly) on Green Energy and has no useful redundant (and operational) backup. It certainly appears that as Green Energy sources have come online, Texas power providers have been loathe to keep an adequate amount of backup sources ready to assume that portion of producing the power required for Texas should the Green Energy sources fail.
Green Energy is a wonderful idea - and it should be further pursued and improved - but clearly there are still limits to it.
Our power grid system - like our air traffic control system - is also in need of improvements and updates.
As much as I favor the free market, there are still a few instances where well regulated and well run monopoly can serve the public interest. The area of power production is definitely one of those areas because such utilities can develop and maintain excess capacities that may be needed in times of crisis that utilities operating in the free market cannot and remain cost competitive.
