I read that the last time temps were this low inmost of Texas was during the “Big Freeze” in 1899. We probably should not spend a boatload of money to fight once in 122 year events. I am good with getting rid of windmills but that isn’t because of this cold snap.

The areas in Texas that did winterize their generating plants after the 2011 freeze didn’t have as much trouble as the ones that didn’t winterize.

Spend the money, save lives!
