Texas wanted its electric power to be as cheap as possible and so skimped on most to almost all of the features required to make it reliable, such as adequate reserves, cold-weather proofing for natural gas wells and pipelines, plus wind-power equipment, etc.

Now Texans are shocked, SHOCKED! to discover that this means they sometimes freeze to death in the dark. The tiny violins are sobbing.

I don’t think anyone has elaborated on, or at least mentioned, the population growth in Texas. Those of us who live here, realize that it is a natural outgrowth of a good economy and quality of life, but it Texas needs to grow it’s infrastructure to meet ever-increasing needs.

This was a once-every-thirty-year storm. We lived through this storm, and also realize the fact that this was one of few weather events that affected nearly all of Texas!

It is a wake-up call, but I hope that those running this state realize that wind and solar are resources that can’t be managed on-demand.

When you’re buying Green Energy for fun, giggles and virtue signaling, it doesn’t leave money for all that boring stuff.
