*SIGH* yet another childish poster that cannot admit when he/she is wrong even when credible evidence to the contrary is presented.Sorry but you must have missed what happened in 2011 (and before that in 1989) when Texans were advised to weatherize their power generation facilities, you might want to do a little research before you start calling people liars.Unfortunately, Texas had that "once in a 500 year event" twice in 10 years but like they say, third time is the charm.It’s fantastic that Texas produces so much wind power. What’s not fantastic is their power grid infrastructure that was not conditioned against severe weather events...to save money. Money over lives is a bad choice.We have seen how dependable the Texas power grid isLike Texas would ever buy Electric School Busesand the average school bus logs 12,000 miles a year in 9 months
That is 60 miles a day
You're assuming there's no need to take school teams, cheer squads and bands to away games. Here in TX that could be 100 miles, each way. Out in West TX even further.

Drill Baby, Drill
Yeah, we're so backward we produce almost 30% of the wind energy produced in the whole US. How much does your backwater shithole State produce?
.
Best you stay away from electric vehicles.....unless you charge them in Cancun
Poor little commie, you deflect instead of answering a simple question. What time of day do you download your commie talking points?
.
Yeah, those once in 500 year events can be a bitch. Funny I didn't see you commies condemning NY and NY for not being prepared during Super Storm Sandy. Run along you hypocritical commie bitch.

You're a liar, I've lived here for 30 years and have never seen the kind of temps for an extended period like we did in Feb.

"Texas has received warnings about its preparedness going back at least three decades.
In 1989 and 2011, Texas experienced significant power disruptions as a result of severe winter storms. Following both events, government regulators recommended power plants in the state prepare their facilities for the extreme cold."
After extreme cold events in 1989 and 2011, Texas was warned to winterize power plants — but many still froze in the latest storms
A report found that after recommendations to winterize plants went unheeded after 1989, some of the same plants were again shut down by cold in 2011.www.insider.com
They generalize in the article, the fact is there have been no State wide events similar to the one in Feb 2020, But hey keep on lying, you're getting good at it, typical commie. LMAO

Apparently, It hasn't dawned on you that you're not the only person that's lived in Texas for a while and that Texas is a very large State.
Keep clinging to your fantasies and I hope they'll keep you warm when the next "once in 500 years" event hits.
