I mean it really bothers me these millions of Texas families are suffering. I couldn’t sleep actually... So I woke up this morning, made coffee and got to researching. I started pulling Biden’s EO’s this morning and I found something buried in the Keystone Piepline EO..... way towards the end of the doc. It turns out that the same day Biden shut down the Keystone Pipeline, he also lifted the security on our power grid for 90 days (Trump’s EO the year prior secured our power grid by giving China no access.) Here below is the snippet buried in Biden’s Keystone pipeline EO. “c) Executive Order 13920 of May 1, 2020 (Securing the United States Bulk-Power System), is hereby suspended for 90 days. The Secretary of Energy and the Director of OMB shall jointly consider whether to recommend that a replacement order be issued.” Just a small little paragraph tucked away in one of Biden’s EO’s the first day he was in office under the umbrella of “restoring science to tackle the climate crisis”. You can find it here: [link to www.whitehouse.gov (secure)] So I researched our energy transformers that supply our power grid. Turns out, we have had zero transformers in this country that were manufactured in China prior to 2009. From 2009 -2019, China has manufactured 200 of our transformers, supplying 60% of our power grid. Trump’s EO states this snippet, interestingly enough. May 1, 2020 order, President Trump stated that “the United States should no longer purchase transformers and other electric grid equipment manufactured in China. He signaled that it is important to end relationships that U.S. utilities have directly with Chinese businesses and multi-national companies manufacturing transformers in China, which are later plugged into the electric grid in the United States. Chinese power equipment can be embedded with software and hardware that can be remotely accessed, enhancing China’s ability to commit cyberattacks. Because power transformers are huge and weigh between 100 and 400 tons, it is not easy to identify embedded software or hardware. There is also a potential hardware risk since counterfeit items can be easily put into large power transformers.” You can read Trump’s EO here: [link to www.federalregister.gov (secure)] What prompted Trump’s EO was this prior report right here. The Department of Energy found in this report, that there were : 6 - US power transformer manufacturers 30- Chinese power transformer manufacturers. You can read the report here: [link to www.energy.gov (secure)] Most recent projects were completed in Houston Las Vegas New Jersey If you lookup “ Electric Panda”.... you will wonder why in the heck this isn’t front page news now with Texas. Conclusively, Biden, on his first day in office, opened up the American electrical grid to China. His very first day in office. 3 weeks later, 5 million are without power and struggling to keep their families warm, and many livestock are unable to survive the emergent conditions caused by my power and limited water.” “Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times.” |

User ID: 35509688 United States02/19/2021 12:34 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | More on the Chair - Craven Crowell Quoting: ShortStop “ Crowell's international work after his service at TVA was a continuation of his efforts in promoting TVA's international activities with global bond issues in Europe and Asia and business partnerships in China. In 1996, working with the State of Tennessee, TVA sponsored the Economic Opportunities through Water and Energy Conference in Beijing. After Crowell signed three Memorandums of Understanding with the Chinese Ministries of Water Resources and Electric Power, TVA began sharing its expertise on several large projects in China relating to river management, hydroelectric dams, and upgrading of electric power systems. In 2001, Crowell keynoted a conference in Beijing on the South-to-North Water Diversion Project. In 2002, Governor Niu Maosheng appointed Crowell to the position of International Economic Advisor to the People's Government of the Hebei Province. Earlier, in 1997, Crowell became the first non-Chinese citizen to be named honorary president of Hohai University in Nanjing, China.” [link to www.cravencrowell.com (secure)]   "A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear." Marcus Tullius Cicero |

All that Texans have to do is pass a law stating the board members must be a permanent verifiable resident of Texas.
