Beto O’Rourke rips Gov. Abbott over claims blaming Texas blackouts on renewable energy

Former El Paso congressman Beto O'Rourke, who has hinted at a run for Texas' chief executive position, ripped into Gov. Greg Abbott for his appearance on a conservative talk show that claimed wind turbines and solar energy were primarily to blame for power outages across Texas as the electrical grid buckled.

Abbott told commentator Sean Hannity on Fox News Tuesday night that the current situation in Texas "shows how the Green New Deal would be a deadly deal for the United States of America."

On Twitter Wednesday morning, O'Rourke said those false and misleading claims about renewable energy drew his ire.

"You’re the governor of a state where millions don’t have power, where people are literally dying of exposure, and you go on Fox news to talk about... the Green New Deal?" O'Rourke tweeted.

These bullshit claims on both sides are ignoring the actual problem and will lead to repeating once again.
