As millions of Texans went without power for days during February's devastating storm, Texas oil and gas regulators were circulating talking points from a noted climate skeptic blaming system failures on the state's embrace of wind and solar energy, emails obtained by NBC News show.

The talking points made their way to the Texas governor's office and to the state's oil and gas regulator. However, independent fact-checkers have repeatedly disputed Epstein's claims. |
