Because the pumps aren’t the ones inside the plant, but ones to get the fuel there.
That's still not Texas, but if some Texans use coal, then vive la difference!
Thanks!
Who are you going to believe, Psaki or your lying eyes?

BAGHDAD BOB in a skirt & lipstick.
Demand through the roof - supply increased but could not meet demand.
This sort of thing can happen. It is not wise to build capacity for extreme events. Instead just accept that some systems will break in an extreme event. Have plans to deal without the usual supply of electric, fuel, water, food.
Well, there was
Historic Texas Snowstorm December 20-21, 1929 Hillsboro's 26-inch snowfall tally certified as all-time 24-hour snowfall record for the state of Texas!
Texas didn’t plan for this contingency - plain and simple. I bet they’ll do better going forward.
What? Rather than plan for what Climate Change mostly warns of?:
Less Snow, Less Water: Climate Disruption in the West. September 2005
Less Snow, Less Water: Climate Disruption in the W Temperature increases in the West are likely to be even greater than the projected 3° to 10°F worldwide increase by the end of the 21st Century, compared to 1990. The heating is likely to be greater in the winter than in the summer and at higher elevations than in lowlands, with significant implications for snowpacks and water availability. ■
Smaller snowpacks. It is very likely that more winter precipitation will fall as rain instead of snow, periods of snowpack accumulation will be shorter, and snowpacks will be smaller.
Greatest warming in winter and spring. In all four basins, the monthly pattern of the warming that occurred in 1995 through 2004 reveals what could be regarded as a signature of climate disruption: The warming has been greatest in January, February, and
or the Colorado River basin, losses of 24% of the basin’s snow- pack are predicted by 2010-2039 and 30% by 2040-2069.
• For the Columbia River basin, losses of 35% of the basin’s snowpack are predicted by 2050 and 47% by 2090. For the milder- winter Cascade Mountains, the predicted losses are nearly 60% by 2050 and 72% by 2090. • For California, losses of 29 to 89% of the state’s snowpack are predicted by 2070-2099
How will global warming affect Texas? ? •Temperatures will be warmer and precipitation patterns will change. Hotter weather, more frequent and severe droughts and increased evaporation.
. As warmer temperatures increase evaporation and water use by plants, soils are likely to continue to become drier. Average rainfall is likely to decrease during winter, spring, and summer.
I’d have thought many Texans would have oil heat.
