3. Fossil fuel lies

  • Green Energy wasn't to blame Fossil fuel corporations are gaslighting you windmill and solar panel
  • In the middle of mass power loss, Texas governor Greg Abbot and his fellow corrupt GOP politicians wasted no time in blaming frozen wind turbines and solar panels. They are manipulating this situation to stir up public fear about the Green New Deal. They are lying. There is no Green New Deal in Texas. To make sure it stays that way, fossil fuel corporations line the pockets of right wing politicians.
  • Fossil fuel companies have shelled out hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations to senators Ted Cruz and John Cornyn and Representative Dan Crenshaw, as well as Governor Greg Abbot and Lt. Gove Dan Patrick including a chart with those amounts listed out
  • What's the motive? To keep profits flowing. While Texans were freezing to death, wholesale natural gas prices spiked to hundreds of times the usual amount. Private energy markets promise wild profits for producers, and reelection for the politicians who enable them - that matters more to them than light and heat for ordinary Americans.
