I watched this news broadcast

He said that

1. 500000 people had power restored due to federal government lifting restrictions on air pollution today

2. He said their were private generating plants that froze

3. He said if they did not do rolling blackouts then the entire grid COULD be off for months.

Obviously they are trying to justify all the mistakes made by saying it could be much worse

But to those that froze to death.. i doubt it can get worse

They could be thawed, reanimated, and have to live through even more of the Biden Horror.
That would be worse.

Abbott says he will investigate ERCOT. The Chair lives in Michigan. Will pass legislation that all members must be residents. Says he will enhance the power grid so that this never happens again.

IF the grid actually collapses, yeah it will take some time to get it back up......its not like throwing a switch.....it has to be brought up gradually and balanced.....Oh and if the transformers are damaged, we have to get them from China.....we don't make them here anymore.....

Why does this sound sooooooo planned out?

C19 - It's the new norm to stay home, don't travel!

I'm hearing that they are expecting a new virus each year or every other year. Just like the never ending wars.

Qtards - do nothing, get you popcorn and do absolutely freaking nothing!

OH Noooooooos!
The great storm, due to climate change of course.

We need to run rolling blackouts now because combining the stupid power stations into a central grid is really working out in an emergency.

40% of Austin residents have been without power for over 24 hours and it's been in the single digits.

Texas produces more electricity than any other US state — generating almost twice as much as Florida, the next-closest, according to federal statistics.

Texas is the No. 1 state in both crude oil and natural gas.

Wind power is also booming in Texas, which produced about 28% of all the US wind-powered electricity in 2019.

Most Walmarts are so ghetto for some reason. Must have something to do with HR.

I know a Walmart where almost the entire staff has a degree. I won't say where. It's the most amazing Walmart I've ever been in and the only one I shop at when I'm in that city which is 2 states away. It's also mostly void of people except from 5-7pm one of the staff told me.

I will give Walmart points for having decent rolls. I tried some of their 40 cents rolls, and I'll be dammed if they weren't delicious; nice and chewy and soft. The rolls at the fancy health food place were awful! How can you ruin bread?

Think about all those thousands of people who just left California and aren't even unpacked in their McMansions yet, then this happens. They must be going out of their minds.

Watch them move back to California with their tail between their legs. Now many of them lost their old tax rate when they sold, unless they were clever enough to rent!
