This is the first time in Texas history that power generation has failed. Coal never left us hanging, never.
In the past, if the power was out, it was because storms damaged lines.

This was a government power outage. And the Texas gop (Bush division) has run the state since 1995. They can point fingers, but they were enthusiastic wind advocates and gas advocates with no requirement for onsite storage like coal.

>>At issue are new Federal rules to cut pollution from power plants. Each state would have to come up with a plan that would cut carbon pollution, or greenhouse gases, by an average of 30 percent in less than two decades. Texas, with all its refineries and a lot of coal-burning power plants, is the largest producer of greenhouse gases and is being asked to cut more emissions than other states.<<
