Oh, he knows. He’s trying to avoid blame. There is going to be a whole lot of “Who knew what and when?” after all this. They’re already trying to lay out their defense.

My caveat: No fuel is performing exceptionally well during this freeze. But coal, gas and nuclear make up 2/3 of Texas's power mix during the winter, so those outages are having the biggest impact. If wind were a larger share of the mix, those outages would be more significant
