    Default Biden DOE caused Texas power crisis

    People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.

    Texas got hosed cause they started talking secession.
    They should take the lesson and prepare for battle.
    Europe used to have empires. They were run by emperors.
    Then we had kingdoms. They were run by kings.
    Now we have countries...

    Gee any of you think Trump would have told them to power up and not worry about the fed.

    Actually, I am disgusted Texas didn't just power up and tell the Feds to bite them no matter who was President.

    Even the feds said don't worry about the environmental regs.

    C. All entities must comply with environmental requirements to the maximum extent necessary to operate consistent with the emergency conditions. ​[bolding added]

    It’s deflection. The windmills failed, but the bigger issue was the gas and coal was offline. Apparently it takes some time to get big generators online, like weeks, it’s not a flip of the switch. The Biden DOE interfered with that, as documented in the pdf.

    Jimmy, I am not sure even that would have been enough, but it would have sure been better trying than not. I just heard even with our 6 Nuclear plants and all our new "green" energy available, Illinois pushed everything to the max to keep up with our demand the last few weeks.
