Greenie activists will double down on stupid.
They’re out there pointing fingers and bellowing a lot of BS, trying to deflect any blame from their new green deal cr@p.
“This is a forewarning of what can come, and the most illuminating question is, can this happen anywhere else?” said Kish. “And the answer is yes. We haven’t even seen the beginning of this yet.”
Every ten years is still often enough to make it worth it to winterize something.
>>Did you file a compliance form stating as with Northern toilet paper, you would plant trees to replace the ones you cut for firewood?<<
That’s hilarious if not...like scary. lol
We built a home up in the forest. Over eleven years you’ll have an oak die every now and again on the property or one needing cut down or back.
We’ve never run out of firewood in all those years. Moved out of the city to be more self sufficient. Horses, chickens/eggs, water well, propane/propane generator, garden and so forth. Been allot of work, but we love being a lil more self reliant and not competing with thousands of others in an urban environment for gas, food, water..not to mention thuggery.
Great idea regarding Cuomo and Kasich’s books for starter fuel. Already use Hillary’s as back up toilet paper. lol
Odd. Windmills work just fine in all sorts of cold places. Not that I give a crap about ‘green’, but whoever authored this piece is an ignorant idiot. Windmills have to be properly maintained, but the work quite well many places that are much colder.
Piss poor maintenance and slack-jawed idiots not also keeping the other sources of power online. Sheer incompetence
I tried Hillary's memoirs but the harshness caused irritation to my rear.

Hilarious <-lol
They may work, but one common factor of extreme cold, is no wind....here in Europe in the North, really cold days have no wind at all, for days on end.
The work fine in Antarctica.
Just some idiots in Texas trying to shift blame from piss-poor maintenance of their grid. I saw some retard say ‘It only happens every 10 years or so’; I wanted to reply “Listen up, snowflake, earthquakes happen less frequently than that and I’m quite OK with jailing for life or hanging any government official or officer of any corporation that isn’t 100 percent prepared.
There is never, and can never be any excuse for loss of power, water, or security.
what about hurricanes?...
THIS was a cold weather event redux, first performed in 1989, repeated in 2011 and again here in 2021. Temps this time matched those in 1989, before Texas went with a de-regulated electric market. Temps in 2011 only dipped into the teens instead of the single digits as in 1989 and 2021.

An excerpt from pg 188:
After a Senate Committee hearing, the bill was amended and unanimously adopted by the Texas Senate. The House unanimously passed the bill on May 23, and the bill was signed into law by Governor Richard Perry on June 17, 2011.
