And if you are not warm today, maybe you can work up a sweat “lobbying”
the Pedodent about that pipeline cancellation?
~Easy
You might as well ask for thorium reactors, too!

Have some of the Reddit people figured out how to profit on this? They are the ones with all of their lights on and hair dryers running.
This should be a lesson for the entire USA.
Texas, sitting on oil reserves that boggle the mind, fell for the stupid renewable energy scam and rather than expanding their power plants that operate on gas and coal, they build windmills.
I hope they survive with few deaths, but learned a lesson.
The only people I worry about being warm at the Capitol are the troops.

Clearly, wind and solar cannot without the mandates and subsidies. This is a harsh reality for Texans.
I often, when appropriate, remind people that New York and Chicago were buried under ice, and will be buried again. Nothing, and no one can stop the Great Cold. With enough repetition, SOME skulls full of mush can be influenced with the truth.
Generally, the cold lasts about 100,000 years, with periods of warmth from 10,000 to 15,000 years. This is the pattern we ‘know of’ right now. Other patterns have and will develop. For us, it is adapt or die.
Right now in many colder areas we use hydrocarbon fuels to keep the windmill mechanisms from freezing. When the Great Cold returns, I doubt it will be feasible to keep doing that.
How on earth did energy rich Texas get to this point?
Lefties in Austin, and in other agencies across the state....and, in legislature :-(
I was talking about the Texas Capitol.
I don't think it's just "a little snow". Joe Bastardi said if this winter storm was a hurricane it would be a Cat5.
Meanwhile the Canadian Maritimes are installing state of the art nuclear energy.
This is so big that I wonder if other states will lose power due to the interconnection system?
To many, Texas is symbolized by oil wells. However, I heard on Fox News today that nowadays much of the state’s power generation comes from the sun and the wind.
Yipes. That firewood search thing scares hell out of me - if you’re looking for firewood at this point you’re pretty much hosed. Welcome to the wonderful world of the Green New Deal...
Reminds me of “Fallen Angel” by Niven and Pournell.
Ah, sorry, a little slow on the uptake today.
this is a pack of lies
my power has been out since
5am this morning
"US power generators set for another big year in coal plant closures in 2020"
"Meanwhile, coal plant operators in the Electric Reliability Council Of Texas Inc. have pulled the plug on 4,973 MW of capacity since 2014. American Electric Power Co. Inc.'s, or AEP's, plans to shut down the 650-MW Oklaunion coal plant in Texas this year is the only announced retirement in ERCOT through 2025, data shows."
FLASHBACK to 2014:
"Gina McCarthy Admits that Agency is Waging War on Coal"
How about we charge up 282 million electric vehicles every day (after conversion to all electric) and see if that helps. And of course we must eliminate fossil fuels at the same time (63% of US power generation).
