brb frozen wind turbines and rolling blackouts to the state that produces more energy than any other state.
brb want to destroy the O&G industries because they can just get jobs making solar panels except solar panels are made in China.
This is what people voted for.
The irony is palpable. Imagine living in Texas right now freezing in your house because they shut off your power.
And Germany ain't no better

Renewable energy is here to stay. There is no going back. You don't have to like it, but it's just how it is.
Now as far what renewable energy or combination will win out in the end and how much coal and other fossil fuels will stick around who knows.

Never said it wasn't a bad idea. Just said it's not going to change. No one is going to reverse course because of a record setting bad winter. Maybe you disagree, that's cool.
Nuclear power is the perfect energy source but humans are idiots. You can even reuse the nuclear waste in a thorium reactor
Texans are soft suburban bitches nowadays. "Country" in name only.
Anyone who is a first level electrical engineer will tell you that coal and nuclear are the most efficient ways to produce energy for millions of people. For the same amount of space you would barely get half a percent of energery from solar or wind. Until we can figure out a way to build a dyson sphere op is 100% correct.
Back then they didn't want me...Now I'm hot they all on me.

There is no limit to available energy sources but there is when it comes to human intellect.
0 degrees here and no power outages. Guess the midwest isn't too bad
[QUOTE=DesiredUser****;1631437423]0 degrees here and no power outages. Guess the midwest isn't too bad[/QUOTE]
This. Texas starting to fall into 3rd world chit status.

It's funny because of how much energy Texas actually produces.
Haven't been hit by the blackouts yet, but i can see on Nextdoor that a lot of neighborhoods are. Going off for 30 minutes at a time.
All the houses in my neighborhood have gas heat. **** off and leave us along. We're not taking all the electricity.
6 outside right now.

More than two million in Texas without power. That's crazy talk.

Gas rules everything around me!!!
I hope Americans don't have to get used to freezing temps. There is lots of cheap energy available to heat homes in the US. Sometimes with the statements from some Democrats it does make one wonder. As an example I read this morning ~
"Climate Change Official Resigns After Threatening To Break the Will of the People"

excerpt:
This new honesty is really refreshing.
I can't wait until the global warming czars start speaking honestly about how many elderly people need to die to save the planet.
A Massachusetts climate official said people who heat their homes and fuel their cars will need to have their “will” broken in order to combat emissions and climate change.
“I know one thing that we found in our analysis is that 60% of our emissions come from … residential heating and passenger vehicles,” said David Ismay, Massachusetts, undersecretary for climate change, during a virtual meeting with the Vermont Climate Council. “Let me say that again: 60% of our emissions that need to be reduced come from you, the person on your street, the senior on fixed-income. Right now, there is no bad guy left, at least in Massachusetts, to point the finger at and turn the screws on and now break their will, so they stop emitting. That’s you. We have to break your will.”
Honesty. Was that so hard.
Here, by the way, is what breaking the will of seniors on fixed incomes who need to heat their homes looks like in the UK.
More than 3,000 people are “needlessly” dying each year in the UK because they cannot afford to properly heat their homes, new research has revealed.
Almost 17,000 of those people are estimated to have died as a direct result of fuel poverty and a further 36,000 deaths are attributable to conditions relating to living in a cold home, the research found. The number dying through cold each year is similar to the amount who die from prostate or breast cancer.
The research was published to coincide with Fuel Poverty Awareness Day on Friday which aims to highlight the problems faced by those struggling to keep warm in their homes.
Keep raising the cost of heating homes and you help kill off the older generation. Or make sure there's no air conditioning during the summer. It's the French and German way.
A 2003 heat wave killed 15,000 people in France. And, in response, the authorities have deployed Chalex, a database of vulnerable people who will get a call offering them cooling advice.
The advice consists of taking cold showers and sticking their feet in saucepans of cold water.
The 2003 heat wave killed 7,000 people in Germany. And, today, only 3% of German households have air conditioning. Germany’s Ministry of the Environment refused to back air conditioning as a response to global warming.
Temperatures in Dusseldorf hit 105 degrees. Officials in Dusseldorf had recently rejected proposals to install air conditioning systems because they’re bad for the environment.
Would Democrats do this sort of thing in America? They're already doing it......

Any energy plan that doesn't include nuclear should be discarded for a simple reason how the fuk are we going to escape this rock w/o nuclear advancements?

Maybe there is a place for multiple energy sources OP........
No, it proves that Texas has the chittiest weather in the US outside of Fairbanks Alaska and Phoenix Arizona.
The weather is absolutely fantastic and beautiful as usual in Sunny Southern California. BTW, the Conservative Californians that moved to Texas are getting REKT :)
Miss the weather yet, ROTFLMFAO

Doesn't your thermostat require electricity, or is there a work around I'm not aware of?
For some perspective for states with actual snow crews they spend between tens and hundreds of millions a year battling the weather effects of the winter seasons.

What does the army corp of engineers say about global warming and climate change?
Or is that a "liberal" institution?
I'm in California and I could have told them that.
