As Joe Biden fails to provide much needed aid to Texans in a timely manner, some have pointed out the stark contrast between this and President Trump’s speedy response to national crises. Take a look.

“What can be said is his Party and their MSM are responsible for the failure of the free market system that would have provided reliable power, had they not been shackled by Democrat party policy and Democrats”

Republican run and control the state of Texas and their grid was “offline” =not hooked up with any other state so Texas would not have to go by federal regulations.

Demorats had nothing to do with this.

Where is the accounting for the first Trillion? Who will do the accounting down to the last dime of this give-away-program? (Democrats reveal details of $1.9T coronavirus relief bill) Some Politicians will make out like bandits with this money...know your elected guarding the proverbial HenHouse.

I thought Texans said they can do everything on their own and want to be independent. Texas doesn’t need anybody. They have their own grid. Why are they blaming the Feds?

Texas didn’t winterize their grid and didn’t have emergency plans for extreme weather.

You're not considering that Biden's Democrat Climate Change and Green Energy Policies already in place in Texas were a critical cause of the Texas Outage.

Biden could have issued a standing order in advance that in critical weather emergencies Green regulations can be suspended.

Biden declared a disaster in Texas, ... after he cut their lifeline.

Wasnt there a big freezing event that lots of folks died under the moron Obama, and he never did or said anything about it? So he is just following orders from the moron.

Texans may have egos, but they are small compared to those of Green Envirowackos pushing Anthropogenic Global Warming, "Greenhouse" Carbon Sequestration and Nuclear, Coal, Oil and Natural Gas Bans.

Texans were driven from the grid by the long time INSANE Federal policies, and they made some mistakes, but the FOUNDATIONAL FAULT was Envirowacko Fed.

When the average overnight low is upper 40's and there is snow once every 10 years or so - and then get a huge winter storm that is upper 20s (or lower!) an knocks off power generation across huge swaths of homes that aren't designed to cope with the cold (building codes for less insulation, no fireplaces, electric hot water heaters and stoves, etc.) you have this problem - especially as far south as Houston.

When there is snow and ice on Galveston Bay, it's a once a century ba storm - not one designed for repeated cold weather.

You're looking at it as someone who has lived in areas where you get feet of snow annually and have experience in how to adapt. These people don't until now. And because of this being a once a century issue, the upgrades aren't considered cost effective - at least until the death toll comes in from hypothermia related deaths.

Oh and my city, which gets ice storms, was shut down since Monday night and on a "boil water" requirement since Wednesday evening - and now all restaurants on the local utility line are closed because of the contaminated water issue from frozen mains and blown water lines - and this is with people who do know how to adapt in colder conditions.

Not everyone has your lived experience. Even those that do can overwhelm the systems in place to cause long-term problems.

...and not a single hint of blame from the lapdog media. Just some photos of old Joe putting another log on the fire. Contrast this with the hysteria during Katrina.

They refuse to hook up to the national grid to avoid fed regs. That is in my opinion good. They allowed people not in Tx to serve on their utility board. Those people have no skin in the game usually bad.

This is exactly right! Bush immediately offered help with Katrina. The governor of LA and the mayor of New Orleans failed to accept it...out of their contempt for Bush. There’s some law about how the Feds can’t just swoop in and give help. The State and local governments need to approve it or ask for it. It doesn’t seem like Biden even offered Federal help. He’s hiding in the basement.

True, I guess those down there never knew the joys of harvesting and splitting upwards of 6 cords of wood for the winter. And by joys I mean torture when your a kid haha.

Not as many wood-burning fireplaces as in the days of yore. It is considered “dirty fuel” to the urban-dwelling Bidinites.
