Well, in the first place the expertise of Texas power regulators is open to question.
But even if the upper limit for them is in fact 30%, that's a lot. Throw in some nuclear power and the greenhouse emissions from electrical generation are dramatically reduced.
I live in a promise where on any given day at most 10% of the generation comes from fossil fuels, the rest being Hydro, Nuclear, and to a much lesser extent wind and solar.

BTW, you can see the instantaneous power usage, cost, and generation of Texas ERCOT at:
https://www.ercot.com/gridmktinfo/dashboardsWhatever you want to say about Texas regulators (ERCOT and Texas PUC), they have learned a tremendous amount about running a huge electric grid with 1,250+ power generators and over ten million electric meters that is rapidly growing with Texas's population growing. Texas's population has grown from 25 million in 2010 to over 31 million today.
