Texas wanted cheap energy and got it by cutting every corner possible, such as reducing power reserves, not requiring cold-weather features on wind turbines and natural gas wells & pumps, etc.

Now they are shocked, SHOCKED! to discover that there ain't no such thing as a free lunch.

The tiny violins are sobbing.

That’s pretty classy Thud.

Texas is the 10th largest economy in the world. Provides the nation with natural gas/oil/petrochemicals, leads the nation in economic activity and produces more energy than any other state.

Conservatism thrives in Texas. So trashing us while we’ve had a serious weather event just makes you look...well...stupid.

Just a mental note from me....I think I heard that we sold power to north states and they don’t want to buy it back at the retail rate since we got it at wholesale rates originally. So maybe you might thank us for freezing here?!!!
