Fact Check: Against WSJ's claim, renewables did not drive the rise in Texas electricity bills. Expert analysis shows that inflation, natural gas price surges, grid upgrade costs, and post‑freeze recovery efforts are the true drivers of higher rates. Meanwhile, clean energy continues to offer long‑term affordability. Experts warn that scaling back solar and wind could raise, not reduce, future energy costs.
