>This article is about how the Texas legislature wants to double down on its "wind is the problem" lie by shifting the costs of establishing grid stabilization services exclusively to renewable energy producers in order prop up the profits of natural gas producers.

Lets look at this from another prospective. Yes renewables are great and cheap, Texas has the highest renewable energy production in the country. But by relying on renewable energy means you also need to have large amounts of fossil fuel capacity that is sitting idle, just in case renewable production falls off. Having fossil fuel plants with idle capacity is very expensive. This is the hidden cost of renewable energy and why even though wind/solar power is cheaper than natural gas, grids with lots of wind/solar power have very expensive electricity. I'm looking at you Germany.
