[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Meanwhile, Texas STILL hasn't learned a damn thing from its last adventure with extreme weather...

Their power's out AGAIN.

Austin received over an inch of ice, if this occurred in DC/VA/MD, the impacts would be similar. Today, the temps in Austin will reach the mid-50’s and 70’s by Sunday, everything will be fine. Also, this summer, Austin (and much of Texas) experienced 3 months straight of 100 degree temps. The powered grid was strained but power stayed on and Texas AC is like a fridge in most buildings. This would not be the situation in the Northeast, I guarantee it.

Go ahead, keep slamming Texas if it makes you feel superior, we know what the truth is. [/quote]

The truth is, they don't want to have connections to the rest of the US's grid because they would be regulated at a federal level.  THey'd rather have people freeze their butts off every winter as weather continues to get worse than have a government that actually cares more about ensuring stable electricity than money regulating them.[/quote]

Don’t forget that they didn’t want to winterize their grid either. Wondering if they ever got around to that…. [/quote]

The grid hasn’t failed with this current storm. The outages are due to frozen tree limbs crashing through power lines. Y’all are unbelievable. [/quote]
uh.. I work with someone in TX, and he missed a video call because the power went out.  He also said, "Climate change is real.. it's never been this cold in TX in the past 15 years I've lived here."[/quote]
