I’m a Dem here in Texas. Our wind turbines froze.

The Texas GOP should figure out how to pull themselves up by their bootstraps. Alas, we will give in, help them, and not be the jerks they are. Which they depend on, to keep themselves in power.

Thats doable with gas. If you live in a disaster prone area, you should have supplies to deal with that. There are other water treatment options that don't require boiling.

Unfortunately, most of our houses rely on electricity. Our tankless water heater does use gas.

Also, our biggest threats weather wise are spring storms and tornados. It is normally a high here of 60 this time of the year. We are pretty good with heat but not this frigid stuff.

This is definitely proof of climate change and should be a priority.

What a great free rider example this is. The entire situarion is their own fault because they refused to pay for weatherization and backup supply. They even rejected the shared risk of interconnection. Now, we will be expected to bail them out.

This is fully a political issue that is manifesting because of law taxes and non-action relation to climate change.

I am sorry it is happening, but it was a fully avoidable event.

This has nothing to do with climate change. It has everything to do with prioritizing worthless green energy over coal, oil, and the cleanest most powerful of all, nuclear.

coal and oil are not limitless, and they pollute our environment. Green energy can be powerful if we spent as much money on it as we do coal, oil and nuclear. Green energy is also new compared to oil and coal.

After watching the Chernoybl documentary, I hesitate to use more nuclear powerplants.

The facts do not support your statement.

None of the above are working because Texas didn’t invest in their own infrastructure.

Climate change is the cause of the extreme cold in Texas.

Coal, oil, and nuclear is also offline bc the GOP is running Texas into the ground.

You’re a dope.

When Cali goes ablaze? No worries. When they have constant rolling blackouts? Not a problem.

What was the cause of the extreme cold in TX when it happened isn’t the late 1800s?

Biden could say this to the state of Texas like this mayor said to his town of Colorado City, Texas:

Events that used to be “extreme” and happened on the order of once every hundred years are becoming more frequent. Texas will continue to experience these extremes over and over again in our lifetimes, where before it would have happened once at most. Look at hurricanes.
