[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The bigger issue than the wind turbines freezing is that Texas has underinvested in its energy infrastructure and doesn't have cross-border connections to draw energy from  neighboring states and alternative sources. This was done purposefully, and experts have been warning about this kind of event in Texas for years.

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.[/quote]

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. [/quote]
WRONG. It’s good old overconfident, incompetent capitalism.

Yep. I mean I wasn’t aware nuclear reactors were ‘green’

Ironically, they are much greener to operate than most traditional energy sources.  OTOH, the do have the problems of occasionally melting down and producing fuel rods...[/quote]

please don't call nuclear power "green." it causes me to have a nuclear meltdown.
