You said that the hurricane was a national security issue in Kentucky such that the governor ought to step in, if I may paraphrase it.

Why is the energy supply in Kentucky, affected by a hurricane in Texas, a “national security issue.”

I did not say the hurricane was a national security issue, I said that energy was a national security issue.

Fair question. My contention is that energy is such a vital commodity to the basic functioning of our Republic that its availability to the People, both in supply and cost, is a national security issue. I don't believe it should be treated the same as regular "goods".
