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.

""While other states invest more in equipment that helps prevent freeze-offs, Texas hasn’t seen the need. North Dakota typically sees 20 days a year with freeze-off events, while the Permian Basin would normally have just four days a year with freeze-offs disrupting gas production, according to BTU Analytics.

“With gas prices being low – and storage being full – the risk of 2-3 days of possible freeze-off every several years is a risk that Gulf Coast producers have been willing to take,” a report on freeze-offs prepared for ERCOT in 2013 says."
