Summary of facts: Biden restricted Texas power output of coal and NG plants to 60% of capacity. Texas had the capacity to operate at 110% of peak demand, even with solar and wind failures. And the plants which shutdown because they couldn't get fuel or because they refused the insane operating market prices.
Tldr: Biden administration federally mandated the texas blackout. It was engineered to occur.

That's a flat-out lie. Xiden is a lot of shitty things, but making up shit that can be easily disproved can only be interpreted as an attempt to make conservatives look gullible and stupid to discredit real conservative grievances with the administration.
Here is the order that permitted Texas to operate their plants at whatever level was necessary to keep the grid stable, regardless of any environmental laws. All they had to do was keep track of what they were doing.

Read it. It says the exact opposite of what you stated and 100% backs what I stated. Second page says it.
The part where it says:
I hereby order from February 14, to February 19 , in the even that ERCOT determines that generation from the Specified Resources is necessary to meet the electricity demand that ERCOT anticipates in Texas during this event, I direct ERCOT to dispatch such unit or units and to order their operation only as needed to maintain the reliability of the power grid in the ERCOT region when the demand on the ERCOT system exceeds expected energy and reserve requirements.
Are you talking about that part from page 2? Because it says exactly the opposite of what you're claiming.
