Fox/WSJ Pure Evil - Frozen Wind Turbine Lies [View all]

Fox, WSJ and conservatives take advantage of winter storms to tell lies about wind turbines/renewable energy. How are we supposed to combat climate change with such aggressive support of fossil-fuel industry lies?

A current focus is Texas where frozen wind turbines are being blamed for power outages, but the state’s independent, outdated grid and unreliable natural gas generation are the real cause.

See facts here.

There needs to be SERIOUS pushback against these dangerous lies!
