Texas knew for years power grid was at risk but did little about it. Unbelievable.

We fight, We win, Am Yisrael Chai
Once again, Texans are suffering because of a failure of disaster planning and investment to prepare for the worst.

First, it was the pandemic. Texas’ public health infrastructure has been shown for a year to be lacking, at both local and state levels. Leaders tried to craft a plan in 2015 to prepare for the inevitable, but it was stopped over political issues.

This time, it’s an unprecedented — but, importantly, not unpredictable — stretch of cold weather and storms blanketing the entire state. Public and private sector leaders may try to say there’s no way they could have been prepared for this. That’s a line of bull that no Texan should accept.

Texas is an energy giant. This shouldn’t happen here. We have a large and diverse energy supply. The culprit here is a clear failure of preparation, period.

Was not maintaining the grid just a trumpanzee ploy to sell generators?
The intelligence level of that scheme sounds just about right.

You whine like a bitch.
 
This is just perfect. They now have to use those filthy carbon-belching helicopters to de-ice the frozen windmills. Daaaaayum these greenie freaks out there with their
stupid windmills and solar which clearly don't work with no wind and no sun. People died. Stick with clean coal, natural gas and full power electricity. :mad:

Yes that's true irony, especially considering that the world is supposed to be on the road to climate perdition.

There'll be an investigation. No doubt some people died because of profit. Should we bring back public hangings of corrupt officials? LOL

Texas has experienced an ice storm, with more on the way.
This isn't about the loss of wind farms (that produce so little as to be essentially inconsequential). It's about high tension systems being damaged by ice accumulation. In many areas, this sections of this part of your electrical grid will have to be rebuilt. Distribution primaries are also down everywhere due to ice damage.

Hope your propane tank is full!

Your electrical workers are working on the problems as best as they can, and they really are a wonderful bunch of guys. They'll have their work cut out for them though!

They had six years to prepare for this, and did nothing. But they complain Biden did not fix everything in four weeks?

So where is the help? What is taking the Biden administration so long? Anyone can talk and declare shit. Where is the action? Why are Americans dying in a disaster from the lack of action of the Biden Administration? I bet they will count them as covid deaths though.
