I honestly have no giant beef w/nat gas used for elec. generation or heating. It was just preposterous to suggest the outages in Texas were caused by wind turbines and it reeked of an opportunistic press hit job. That headline just confirms their PR moves.
And yet the sad thing is that once the @Mercors of the world heard it once on Fox it's gospel to them forever and they literally close their mind to even a single fact that would disconfirm what they now believe. I mean just look at this thread, the guy ignored post after post factually showing that his belief was obviously false, and then spouted that belief again as if none of the preceding facts had been mentioned, and when called on that just decided to ignore it all to avoid the cognitive dissonance that would come with admitting that perhaps the source of his worldview is lying to him. This willful ignorance on the part of so many otherwise intelligent Americans is just damn depressing when it comes to the future of the Republic.I honestly have no giant beef w/nat gas used for elec. generation or heating.

Find it hilarious that the narrative now is to blame it on green energy, as if green energy had much clout in Texas's energy policy.
Texan grid
Turns out California isn't the only state whose power grid can topple in adverse weather conditions. Texas suffered rolling blackouts yesterday during a rare winter storm, with around 2 million homes being without power. The weather forced natural gas and coal-fired plants offline, and froze wind turbines. Fortune
Not my cup of tea (juice); but a quick Google claims TX is the #3 citrus producer in the U.S.
It must not be that bad, because I'd expect a bigger jump than this.

If the cold hangs around though....
Seems like $120 would be a safe bet.
Not a lot of downside risk.
For whatever that's worth.
