Solar panels on the space station and the mars lander seem to do fine. So do the wind turbines in Antartica.

I don't think it is the technology.

Yea, typical weather in Texas is just like Antartica, orbital space, and Mars.

Would it kill you to just admit that Texas cheaped out and hasn’t properly prepared for the extreme weather events that accompany climate change? They ignored previous recommendations to proactively fortify infrastructure.

It’s just going to get worse. Responses like your’s are like an ostrich with its head in the sand. This will happen again....and again.

Well, that's not for me to decide, I don't pay taxes in Texas. I am not sure if I want to pay every year to prepare for an event that may happen every 50 years. If the tax payers in Texas believe it's a good use of their funds to be constantly prepared for snow and prolonged freezing weather, then that's their business.

As a person from outside Texas who pays federal taxes (I assume, correct me if not), do you have any objection at all to repeatedly bailing out Texas with federal resources, when Texas continues to cheap out and go on the dole when they get caught with their pants down?

Any objection, or absolutely none at all?[/quote]

The previous poster is the same kind of person who complains about states that don't fund their retirement systems enough (make preparations) and then use that as an excuse for not wanting to help states out during COVID. So if that person is consistent, that person will not want federal money sent to Texas to help with their energy infrastructure. If they are consistent they will say that it's on them to prepare for cold weather.

I hope the previous poster is happy when their insurance rates also go up in order to "help" out the Texans who have to make claims for water damage from burst pipes.

I hate to tell you, but like COVID, we are all in this together. But Texans like to think that somehow they can go it alone. I guess that's why it's called the LONE star state.
