Not long after I posted a reply to another post, that in considering what The Republic of Texas is looking to in reference to Governor Abbott and the winter storms disaster declarations, power grid woes and plans to repair / restructure, the word "nuclear" fairly popped into my mind. I wasn't thinking about it.
I was musing as to why my stomach was growling after such a bodacious and filling breakfast. And whether I should take a nap before that. How to build a sleet/snowman with a plastic coffee container and whether if it formerly contained a "robust, bold roast", would the iceguy launch into orbit (just kidding). Sushi bars and saxaphones. What a hoot it would've been to have acquired a doctorate in flatulencology...pardon the pun.
God's blessed me with a sense of humor, Praise His Holy Name. But this is indeed, again, and could have been another extreme in sheer danger and magnitude in addition to all other aspects of the historic winter weather impacts in Texas. That is, a loss of power at one nuclear power plant, cascading instrumentation malfunction or inability to detect. But, by the Grace of God, stopped in time by His own hand.
This, in reference to what my sweet mom was telling me about what was a narrowly-averted "disaster".
Not me. I’ll be working for at least another 25 years. If not longer.

Some assembly required
Because he sure isn't in English.
Holy Crap! We froze our butts off and some died because the Fed was worried about emissions!!!
Thanks for the link, I am going to have to read that a couple more times. I can’t believe Governor Abbott didn’t have the ability or the “stones” to ignore any emission mandate in this case!
Seems other states can ignore the Fed Gov’t and declare Sanctuary Cities, Gov Abbott should then have the power to pick and choose what Federal Laws and guidelines we should follow as well.
I don’t have a drink until 7. I guess you started very early.
Dude, you not supposed to drink the bong water.
No bueno!
Okie Dokie
Hey!! Don’t be so judgmental. Before you start harshing his buzz, I almost posted something really close to this. And before I hit “enter”, I proofread it. And it didn’t make any sense at all to me so I deleted it. Why? because I want to post really really good stuff and not having you point and giggle at me. I could really go into detail about this but you get the gist of it.
“You should try posting while trippin’ on DMT.”
Damn!
It sort of sounds to me like ERCOT trying to find an excuse. Not that there is much excuse for opaque federal bureaucracy. But this is worth looking into.
Yes, I would believe that as well. I was not aware before this event that most of the ERCOT board are not even Texas residents!
I am hoping to see some common sense changes over this.

When floating in a sensory deprivation tank...
I am sorry that you have IBS.
Been there.
That is what you are talking about....right?
I hope this isn’t another Texan Freeper freezing to death.
That would not be funny.
I used to love floating, most relaxed I’ve ever been after getting out.
If you had at least spelled “saxophone” correctly, you could have gotten partial credit.
Really?
Personally I would have guessed some sort of mushroom tea or ayahuasca, but what you surmised are equally valid options. A glaring case of PWI.
LOL! Cute bunnies, BTW.
