There is no data. The article links to the Cascend twitter page. There hasn’t been a new tweet since 10/29/2020 (almost 4 months) so there is nothing to back the graphs there. If you go to Cascend’s actual website, their example research and media pages have nothing newer than 2019.

My guess is someone found an old data research company and just put their name on a graph thinking people would believe it’s real.

Ahaha! Fake Meme News strikes again. Wonder what dark corners of the net that is floating around.

Green energy is not “bad”. It’s not ready. Don’t force it.

Wind will never be more then a secondary source.
Nuclear, Hydroelectric are the future.

So biden forced texas to not witerize wind turbines and natural gas lines…

Pretty powerful for a guy that is in the midst of dementia as the right claims…

But I can find nothing corroborating this “data”, and it appears to come from a fringe and partisan website

That is the very definition of what you would call fake news.

I will definitely keep an open mind if other sources begin to back them up

To be fair, many on the right don’t care about reality…last couple of months have proven that…

WuWei · 2021-02-22T01:27:19.915Z

This has nothing to do with Jbiden.

Supreme_War_Pig · 2021-02-22T01:32:34.990Z

Please note: I put “data” in quotes.

And I only mentioned “data”, because the OP kept going on about it.

I was in no way taken in by this fake news

No worries. I knew what you meant. I looked to see if there was anything behind the graphs. Thinking maybe they posted some data or source info. They didn’t. Just a possibly defunct analytics company. Thought I’d share.

Just to drive things home further.

Here is the graph from the EIA (US Energy Information Administration) giving energy generation by source over the same time period as the OP. If they’re not a reliable source, I don’t know who is.

Extreme winter weather is disrupting energy supply and demand, particularly...

Energy Information Administration - EIA - Official Energy Statistics from the U.S. Government

Wind power never gets above 10 MW. Natural gas ranges between 35-40 leading up to the blackout.

Here’s the graph from the OP:

540×540 46.9 KB

It’s a crappy graph, but it shows wind as suppling near 50% of the overall power and natural gas supplying a fraction of that leading up to the blackout. It was never close to that.

It looks like cascend is made up and the graph is made up as well. Just outright fake.

Supreme_War_Pig · 2021-02-22T02:26:22.270Z

And of course the OP is nowhere to be found

PeterGriffin · 2021-02-22T03:00:47.684Z

There doesn’t seem to be a company called a Cascend Strategy in existence. There’s a Cascend Securities, a one man shop in New York that uses that logo.it looks like this online bucket shop is the one pushing this:

Can’t find much in the author Laurie Foti.

whenever i see a “source” of news that immediately gets a snarky attitude like the idiot dallas news i completely ignore them

because their childish attitudes deserve that

But an article by someone who named themselves after a Fight Club character - totally legit.

PeterGriffin · 2021-02-22T03:05:25.541Z

Duuuude! SWP good seeing you!

Same man. Thanks!

I bailed in like 2015. I saw what was coming with Trump V. Clinton, and just didn’t wanna deal.

I as always lurking about, though

Probably for the best you kept yourself
from having to endure a boring 4 season T.V. show about Russia. The first two seasons was about Russian collusion then season three heated up with Russian then Ukraine collusion and impeachment a little better. Fourth season ended with coronavirus and again another impeachment.

westaussie · 2021-02-22T06:54:46.181Z

When was the Texas wind power infrastructure built?

CanadianJudo · 2021-02-22T06:55:13.112Z

someone yet to explain how this is Biden fault.
even though the Taxes sued and won the EPA to stop winterizing.

The Gov even bragged about it on Twitter.

JimmyC · 2021-02-22T08:10:59.258Z

Don’t talk about Tyler Durden

Also, Texas has deliberately kept its grid separate from the rest of the nation, so they can’t import additional power even if they want to.

El Paso is on the western grid, few problems.
