Thanks to liberal stupidity - rolling blackouts across Texas

[JLW]

It turns out it was Republican stupidity that is responsible for blackouts and outages in Texas.

Wrong

windmills are a failed liberal idea

as was the obama decision to kill coal

Lol...read a damn newspaper.

Texas Blackouts: How The State Generates Its Electricity [Infographic]

As Texas was crippled by a winter storm that left millions of people without power this week, the blame game about the fuel sources responsible has already started.

Texas blackouts in winter storm falsely blamed on renewable energy, Green New Deal

With millions of Texas residents still without power amid frigid temperatures, conservative commentators have falsely claimed that wind turbines and solar energy were primarily to blame. “We …

As a matter of fact, it was inept Republican Texas state governments that did not follow the protocols that the Feds recommended to secure their grid.

All right-wing lies about wind turbines will not change the fact that Republican ineptitude is responsible for this Texas clusterfuck.

I never said it would be great I merely pointed out in my first post that the argument posted here has nothing to do with whether your a liberal or conservative.

Hate toward nuclear energy is time-honored liberal position

as is the entire man-made global warming DOOMSDAY hoax that has caused the shortage of energy produced by coal

It turns out it was Republican stupidity that is responsible for blackouts and outages in Texas.

Let me guess, you just got your talking points memo, and it said, "Go out and parrot, 'It's the Republicans, and now that I've said it, it's SETTLED!'".

 

[Mac-7]

Ya notice in the summer when it's 105 degrees plus and everybody ids running their AC to the max, the power rarely goes out?

I think we may see rolling blackouts in the summer in Texas as more liberal techies move here from california.

The excuses we are hearing blaming everything on the cold weather do not make sense

My thinking is that we are on the verge of chronic energy shortage that will plague us in the summer when we need air conditioning the most

Heads must roll and some of them will be republicans

 

[Mac-7]

Your correct we need hydrocarbon feedstocks but in the future maybe we wont need oil to make plastics. Here's some interesting reading for you. Can the world make the chemicals it needs without oil?

Why not oil?

we have plenty available RIGHT NOW and do not have pray that some godless lib will finally discover the lost secrets of Atlantis

 

[Mac-7]

For the things he did five years ago? Yeah. Did you think there was a magical point in time when his behavior of five years ago suddenly stopped being his fault?

Liberals have short memories but we dont

Frozen wind turbines, limited gas supplies and rolling blackouts: Behind Texas' energy woes | CNN

Some of the warmest places in Texas, where rolling power outages are occurring across the chilly state, are inside cars and trucks parked in the driveway of a home without electricity.

The public is being blamed for using too much energy during a severe winter storm

but the real reason is liberal fear of global warming from burning coal combined with fear of nuclear power

so all we have to keep us warm is natural gas that is in short supply and windmills that are frozen stiff

Haha, yes Liberal Texas is ruining everything!!! Wait a minute...

 

[Lesh]

Turns out it ISN'T a failure of Wind Turbines.

The nuke and fossil fueled plants which produce 90% of Texas energy at this time of year failed...because of the weather...and piss poor planning for that weather

 

[jackflash]

Why would Texas even bother with wind turbines anyhow? The state has plenty enough oil and gas to run their power
[/QUOT[/QUOTE
Wind powered turbines are another source of power for a growing American population. The drawback to them is that they or the components to assemble them are manufactured in China? I may be confusing wind turbines with solar panels so please correct me if I am wrong here. Turbines also have a high maintenance cost from what I have read about them & few of them live up to their expected life span of twenty years. Nuclear power plants would be the way to go despite HIGH initial cost to get them constructed, not to mention the problem/cost with the waste disposal factor, eg. Hanford Nuclear Reservation!

Operation and maintenance costs of wind generated power

Because of the corporate green new deal leftists at ercot. Did you notice EL Paso county has had few outages? They aren't under ercots thumb.

Nope.. The Republicans are too cheap to run maintenance. The wind turbines work fine in Antarctica.

Without taxpayer-funded government subsidies, there would be absolutely no "renewable" energy of any kind. It's not like this "green energy" bullshit suddenly sprang up from nowhere, just because it was popular or something.

Texas refuses to follow Federal rules and regs on the wind turbines.

 

[Tax Man]

Wind turbines create internal heat and should not freeze if in use prior to the cold. Also it is tezass who the fork cares?

You just sit in California and be sad.

Why would I be sad? I have great weather and a beautiful state to enjoy unlike tezass where there is nothing but trouble.

Did the fires caused by PG&E's incompetence and corruption ever go out? How about the billions in unfunded pension mandates -- they ever find the money for that? Hey, is that app that maps human shit on the streets of Frisco still up and running, or did it crash from over-use?

Frisco? What is that? Everywhere you step is left with shit from you!

Texans need to grab their bootstraps and yank. They should have stockpiled snow shovels and generators in preparation for this event. It is obvious they weren't prepared and expect the federal government to bail them out. Sad, so sad.

ps - What happened to their secessionist talk? Bigly!!!

Still blaming Obama five years later. I thought your blob was going to re-open the coal plants. Did he fail smoky?

We’re blaming the entire liberal green movement that spawned fools like obama into starving America for the energy we need to survive as a nation

Gregg Abbott blames the Natural Gas Freezing. Is he a liberal all of the sudden?

Wasn't your blob supposed to bring it back? Did he fail miserably like he did on the wall, healthcare, immigration, etc....?
