I can't imagine the usage being higher than a hot summer week during the summer.

It's not.  What happened was the wind turbines supplying X amount of electricity froze.  Couldn't handle what they promised.  We were short that amount.  Nothing as back up.  That's why the rolling blackouts!   The green crowd strikes again!

That's incorrect.

You guys are incorrect. Texas is run by 90% fossil fuel and 10% turbines give or take. Not only did the turbines freeze but so did the oil wells and pipelines. AOC isn’t to blame it’s the Texas government who is incompetent because none of our material was winterized. I know you probably won’t believe what I just said and you will call it “fake news” but a quick and simple google search will tell you I’m right.

6 hours ago — An ERCOT report on generating capacity listed the top sources of power in the state: Natural gas (51%) Wind (24.8%) Coal (13.4%)

I believe your off on your numbers Bro. 24.8% is not the same as 10%, huge difference. There’s your Google data.  Question: How long have pipelines been running through Alaska and Canada? How cold does it get in Alaska and Canada? Google it an maybe you’ll figure out what I am getting at.

The oil wells and pipelines didn’t freeze and it’s not the responsibility of Texas government to winterize refineries and chemical plants. 

My article about aoc was to point out her ridiculous statement the the new green deal would have spared Texas from the rolling blackouts.

Our first clue is that you are on the side of AOC!   SMH!

So if they didn’t freeze or buckle due to the cold conditions why didn’t they continue to operate?? Your logic makes no sense.

So if natural gas is so superior to wind energy why was it compromised as well? Is it AOC’s fault? Like I stated above our state government and their incompetence is the reason we are in this position. Every other state went through the same storm and many much worse than we had it. Their wind turbines and natural gas resources weren’t compromised. Why is that you think?

    • Or a less lethal option would be to have law enforcement yell improper pronouns at them...they'd scatter like sheep. I still prefer your way, lol.
    • I ve seen this done in several other countries.  And in those countries it happens very lil because of the severity of the consequences.   I saw a video of other world leaders ask “why does America allow such destructiveness” when all the civil unrest was happening because a criminal/criminals were killed  by not following commands.     we have a great system in place but it’s been compromised and we could still learn from other countries.
    • I am out of VOTES, but I will give a BIG AMEN!!!!
    • You start opening fire and drop about 10 or 12 of these protesting morons it will break up pretty quick.    This ties in with killing the chicken killing dog.
    • This is an easy one. We have let grifter unqualified coaches infiltrate our children and convince them that they will be D1 athletes if they only focus on a single sport. We've got kids, with single digit ages, playing their sport year-round to "maximize exposure" despite the fact that most college coaches on the recruiting trail will value a multisport athlete. This translates to the school year and ends up with kids being football, basketball, baseball only kids. Track is pretty much the only one left that keeps kids playing other sports and that's primarily because football coaches demand their football kids be track athletes. I literally talked to a man last night, who just moved to Texas from Oklahoma who was telling me his kid played on two different football teams during the season last year. One for his school, one for his select league. During the week the kid was a RB for his school, and on the weekends, he was a QB for his select team. This would equal 7 days a week of full contact football for a 6th grader......6th grader. Once that ends, rolls straight into 7 on 7 for the spring and back to football in the summer. All this for a kid, who seems to be a good athlete, but probably has a ceiling of D2 at best, if he doesn't burn out before that. Parents are silly and think they can develop their kids into being the next Quinn Ewers, but they completely miss the biggest factor in creating that type of athlete.....genetics. Genetics are undefeated. Always have been, always will be. Play sports because you love to compete then compete in everything you do. Quit giving bullsheet rings to "state champions" every single weekend all over the US and get back to valuing team championships won at the community level to build the continuity when they are young. This is the only way to reestablish the pride once felt by every kid in every town across Texas when they got to put on a uniform with their school colors. Otherwise, we can kiss the magic of high school sports goodbye.
