Few people realize that Germany has actually increased its fossil fuel combustion capacity over the 20 years of its landmark renewable energy program from 2001 to the present. We can see the same impact of variable energies in Germany. Part of the problem in Texas was that wind and solar farms set the price for the rest of the system.

Heat pumps, a simple but effective technology, use electricity to remove heat from inside your home to cool it in the summer and pull heat in from outside to heat your home in the winter. Gas is made mostly of methane – a climate-damaging fossil fuel that is over 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide.
