I’m not on the side of windmills or solar.
I don’t care if people want them, but they shouldn’t be any high percentage of generation.
Base load should come from Gen IV nuclear, and evil oil and natural gas.

“That’s when you need a friend with a backhoe.”

Old saying. “A friend will help you move. A brother will help you move a body.”

These people are being paid tens of thousands of dollars for each lecture. It is a multibillion dollar industry. And yes they do intend to kill off the “Kulaks.”

Something else that came to mind is what if the manhours, equipment, money and effort that went into implementing and sustaining solar and wind would have been directed to gas and oil instead would that have helped this situation.

I read that part of the problem is gas lines froze because they were not weatherproofed either.

"No, it’s back to good, old fashioned, elections. The ballot box, as opposed to the ammunition box. (Yes, frustratingly slow, I know.)"

There was an "election" last November. It was wildly corrupted, and a dictatorship is your installed government.

In what alternate universe do you believe that the Left will permit any more honest elections?

Who do we attack? Easy. EVERY REGISTERED DEMOCRAT! Trot down to the county court house, get the voter rolls, and round them up. We line them up in ditches, and... (Before you reject it, yesterday, some Democrat claims that every former member of the military, and every retired cop is a white terrorist and must be "reprogrammed".)

The reality is that that we are going to kill them before they kill us.

Constitution? It's dead. We might recover bits and pieces, but first we have to shatter it, just to survive.

It was the South Texas Gulf plant I believe.

It was mentioned in Gov. Abbott’s presser yesterday.
