KING
The green weenie windmills have frozen over and now over 4 million people have to sleep in their car just to stay warm. And yet, lefty still calls it "Global Warming". LOLOLOL


More than 4 million Texans are reported to be without power Tuesday as temperatures remain well below freezing across the state, leaving residents scrambling for warmth.

Over 1 million of those outages were reported in the Houston area, according to PowerOutage.us, a website that tracks disruptions. Elsewhere, more than 300,000 customers are without power in each of the Dallas, San Antonio and Austin areas, it added.

“At this time, [the Electric Reliability Council of Texas] is unable to predict when grid conditions will stabilize,” Oncor, a utility that serves more than 10 million customers, tweeted Tuesday morning. “All customers are urged to be prepared for continued extended outages.”

This is what happened and it has nothing to do with their choice of green energy.

Electric generating plants did not properly winterize their equipment, said Dr. David Tuttle. Tuttle is a research associate with the Energy Institute at the University of Texas at Austin.
"There are things that can be done, but it will cost some money," he added. "About every decade we have these long-sustained periods. And then, you know weatherization is supposed to happen, and then, it doesn't because it costs money."

Texas is under winter storm warning for first time in history

Credit that to climate change.

No wait...my bad..

The overwhelming majority of the electrical system of this country is in the hands of private entities. So much for that bogeyman

Much of it was built at the public expense, of course (to say nothing of the equity earned by the workers who actually put the infrastructure in place), and handed to the Rockefellers, Hunts, and Vanderbilts by their fraternity buddies in public office. Anyway, how's that private ownership working out for us? I know here in Montana when they privatized the dams we went from the cheapest power in the nation to the most expensive in the northwest.

Mm...cite it...
No?

Their equity dissolved at pay day. As is customary.

And, as I've noted earlier, fully 85 percent of the 'grud' is privately held...why? You figure it out...

Wingers always need some Big Lie to rally around. This week it’s blaming the Texas energy collapse on windmills.

Exactly. Texas Gov Abbott rushed to FoxNews to distract and falsely claim this is what would happen with the Green New Deal....except it's happening now on his watch.....because Republicans believe in profit over services to the people they swore to serve.

Except that the grid in Texas and the US for that matter has been 85% privatized for decades...

So...there's lots of dens and cons to blame....yes?

It would be nice if some GOP leader, some day, actually took responsibility for something instead of that lame “The Dems did it!” jive.

But alas, the GOP cult just doesn’t hold them to account.

It takes maturity to accept responsibility. The buck doesn't stop at the desks of Republican governors or presidents.
