You know who actually pushed Texas to go renewables? Rick Perry — who saw it as a way to decouple power prices from coal and natural gas.
Republicans today, rather than see the economics, have turned it into a “culture war” — fuck economics, fossil fuels or bust!
Perry has always been a fuckup. He was a fuckup as governor and a fuckup as energy secretary. Funny thing is, Perry did something right for the wrong reasons.
