You don't see what's happening in TX nearly to the same extent in Louisiana, MS, and other southern states that aren't built for these heavy winter storms.

"Green energy" is nothing but a small supplement and is not sustainable

You see how they make and dispose of solar panels? You see how they dispose of wind turbines?

It is a small supplement now for sure - but again, you fail to winterize ANY energy source and you're going to have problems when winter weather arrives & stays for multiple days. That fault lies with TX being lazy and/or cheap, not green energy.

Big picture, green energy would be sustainable and able to be more widespread if the same amount of effort were put toward it as is currently being used to try to retain the use of fossil fuel.

You gotta link for that bullshite you just spewed. Texas has electricity problems because they didn't spend enough on green energy

If Alaska can have wind energy, I think it's pretty obvious it works in cold environments.

TX has problems with ALL their energy sources, green and otherwise because they A - didn't want to participate in nationwide power grids, and B - they cheaped out, taking a chance on a total collapse of their system if they got winter weather.

This isn't a "renewable energy failed!" situation like the OP would like to think...it's a "Texas wanted to do their own thing, failed to plan for winter weather adequately, and is now seeing the results of that decision" situation.

Again, other southern states that are experiencing this once in a few decades level of winter weather aren't having the same problems.

TX always prides itself on doing its own thing, but this was clearly a failure.

Please enlighten us further with your vast knowledge of energy distribution and production. I really wanna hear this having some experience on this topic.

Please, I need a good laugh and it will be give us some of my colleagues great entertainment.

Please expound on this in moderate detail.

It takes no expansion on the topic - in any field, if you use more time & resources to work on one particular thing, you will have quicker success than if you ignore it. This isn't complicated.
Covid vaccines were created thanks to putting the effort into developing them, not ignoring it & hoping it all just "goes away like magic."

The fuq would anyone prepare for a twice in a generation cold snap? Especially with the...you know..global warming.

So your home have triple insulated walls and wired in 10k generator ?

Yeah, it's totally hard to understand that when you put more resources into something, you get quicker results than if you didn't.

That is also a false assumption but a very democrat notion.

Quote:As millions of Texans suffer through an unprecedented winter storm that has caused widespread power outages and has claimed the lives of at least 21 people, actress Bette Midler is using their hardship to score political points, seeming to argue that the storm is “payback” from God against Sens. Ted Cruz and John Cornyn.

Bette Midler tweeted her divine retribution theory late Tuesday, describing the Republican senators from Texas as “hateful,” “vicious,” and “cruel.” She implied that God is punishing the politicians for voicing objections to the Electoral College certification in January.

While Sen. Cruz registered his challenge to Biden’s certification, Midler incorrectly cited Sen. Cornyn, who declined to join fellow Republican lawmakers in their Electoral College objections.

“I feel for the people suffering thru this weather, but #God doesn’t seem to like #TedCruz or #JohnCornyn. These two also never recognized that #Joe won,” she wrote. “If this isn’t payback, I don’t know what is.”

Midler also blamed the winter storm on climate change, saying that Al Gore warned of such possibilities three decades ago.
