“Texas will revert to natural gas, this is a godsend.”

The natural gas pumps and lines in Texas are frozen because Texas never winterized them as states up North do so even though there was a commission report in 2012 to do so.

Well, "It's not gonna get that cold around here ever again because of global warming", right?

Just some really smart people going with the conventional wisdom, sounds like to me.

Pick a subject, any subject, that you know something about. This one about natural gas production and distribution you should steer clear of though.

Ridiculous. Natural gas does not freeze. The natural gas pipelines are buried (i.e. insulated/weatherized with dirt). The problem is the massive load on the grid from people trying to keep their houses warm enough that their water pipes don’t freeze and break. Houses in southeast Texas are built to withstand the occasional overnight temperature of 29-32 degrees, but not a week of sustained below freezing temperatures.
