Texans are suffering through a polar vortex without power — let down by the same fossil fuel corporations responsible for the climate crisis. An unprepared, non-resilient system has left millions in the cold!

Here’s what EVERYONE needs to know: Texas' fossil fuel infrastructure is failing, and failing spectacularly, right now.
In fact, “90% of the plants that failed have been oil and gas plants and the big coal plants.”

Political elites like @GovAbbott are spreading misinformation to cover for polluters, blaming wind energy and an unimplemented #GreenNewDeal for grid failure!?!
This is a blatant lie. In fact, wind and solar have generated more than forecasted!

Attacks on the #GreenNewDeal are a form of climate denial. Denial is not a victimless crime! Lives are already being lost to extreme weather. The fossil fuel industry must be held accountable, not subsidized at taxpayers’ expense.

What’s happening in Texas shows that fossil fuels are not only unjust and inequitable, they are unstable! Millions of people are being let down by coal, oil, and natural gas right now.

We urgently need to:
STOP using climate-wrecking oil, coal, and gas.
Create millions of jobs to replace fossil fuels with wind and solar.
Build adaptive resilience into energy systems so that they work in extreme weather!
It's #TimeToThrive!
