Governor Greg Abbott has issued a disaster declaration for all 254 counties in Texas on Feb 12 as a winter storm struck the state.
With the declaration, Abbott deployed state resources to help local officials responding to problems caused by the storm.
“I thank President Biden for quickly issuing a Federal Emergency Declaration for Texas as we continue to respond to severe winter weather conditions throughout the state,” said Governor Abbott. “This disaster declaration provides Texas with additional resources and assistance that will help our communities respond to this winter weather.”
The Texas State Operations Center has expanded its daily operations to 24-hours a day through the end of next week.
“Texas should heed the guidance of their local leaders and stay alert to changing weather conditions in their area,” said Governor Abbott. “These resources will help us respond to this severe winter weather and keep our communities safe. The State of Texas remains in close contact with officials on the ground and will provide any additional resources and support that are needed.”
But what happened next is causing huge controversy.
The federal government under Biden had ordered restrictions reducing local capacity & ERCOT started rationing power due to emissions into the environment & further ordered OUTSIDE power usage which increases power bills.

Now you KNOW they're lying.
Biden could tell the people freezing without any electricity
“”It’s better to light a single candle than to curse the darkness.” He’s so spiritual, you know. Except when he’s promoting killing babies or elderly people.
FEMA, do your thing! Where is the love?
Biden and his administration making Texas PAY!
I kinda’ suspect some type of sneak retribution attack against the citizens of Texas for supporting Trump. Unity my arse...never let a crisis go to waste is the demoncrap moto.
Here is the order.
Now this is an entirely different take on the whole mess and not one that I have seen in the major media which is blaming Texas management for the millions without power.
Trump would’ve been all over this. FEMA, personal visits, whatever was needed would’ve been supplied within 2.3 seconds. And the MSM would’ve ripped him a new one over it somehow.
The linked article doesn’t really show documented or referencable proof for what they are claiming. The document that is shown does not show what is claimed.
And the document shown is a DOE document, yet it’s next to a picture of DementiaJoe signing (or scribbling) something. He would not be signing a DOE document.
But, but ... isn’t Biden supposed to president for ALL the people?
Nowhere in the article does it back up this claim:
“The federal government under Biden had ordered restrictions reducing local capacity & ERCOT started rationing power due to emissions into the environment & further ordered OUTSIDE power usage which increases power bills.”
the wording is:
“A. From February 14, to February 19, 2021, in the event that ERCOT determines that
generation from the Specified Resources is necessary to meet the electricity demand that
ERCOT anticipates in Texas during this event, I direct ERCOT to dispatch such unit or
units and to order their operation only as needed to maintain the reliability of the power
grid in the ERCOT region when the demand on the ERCOT system exceeds expected
energy and reserve requirements”
In other words if ERCOT deems it necessary they can use whatever units they choose to dispatch. Nowhere does it day they can’t use whatever units they choose.
We don’t need to lie or engage in shoddy “journalism” to make this administration look bad.
How many died in Texas? Sue Joe Biden personally, along with anybody else that had anything to do with this decision. This is just plain evil, denying life saving heat to keep emissions low. Unspeakable evil.
Holy Biden ..... and his sainted, prayerful son addicted to sex and drugs.
Biden could tell the people freezing without any electricity
“”It’s better to curse Trump than to light a single candle.”
Seems to me most of the problems we are seeing here are from the Federal level and controlled by the “fake” administration. As soon as an emergency/disaster declaration was declared, the EPA and DOE stuff should get shoved right out the window. This is beyond ridiculous!!!!!!!!!
Biden needs to be impeached!
I don’t care what that DOE doc says. We all know this whole thing was the fault of Ted Cruz’s poodle. CDS types told us that.
Nowhere does it day they can’t use whatever units they choose.

Here you go -
“To minimize adverse environmental impacts, this Order limits operation of dispatched units to the times and within the parameters determined by ERCOT for reliability purposes. Consistent with good utility practice, ERCOT shall exhaust all reasonably and
Department of Energy Order No. 202-21-1 practically available resources, including available imports, demand response, and identified behind-the-meter generation resources selected to minimize an increase in emissions, to the extent that such resources provide support to maintain grid reliability, prior to dispatching the Specified Resources.”
“This Order does not provide relief from an entity’s obligations to purchase allowances for emissions that
occur during the emergency condition or to use other geographic or temporal flexibilities available to generators.”
Correct.
