Fake. Most of the power plants that went offline in Texas were fossil and nuclear. Texas could have avoided this by connecting to the Western & Midwestern grids. But they refuse to do that, because they can't because they use a different electrical standard because cooperating is "socialist". Now they are stuck in their own grid, nobody from the outside can help them. Germany is doing just fine, it IS connected to other nation's grid. Nobody's freezing in Germany! Also, islamic countries are selling solar power from north africa to europe via underwater cable to Italy. It's only going to grow. The middle east has no use for all that solar electricity. Electric car batteries are going to soak up the surplus solar and feed it back into the grid when it's needed. You're going to hate it, but the rest of the world will love it! www.electricitymap.org
