“A lot of people didn't eat today because grocery stores, restaurants, etc all closed and without power. Lots of people going and spending hours at a time sitting in their car just so they can stay warm enough”

The whole wind story is a lie. Hilarious. They care more about owning the libs than stopping their own pipes from freezing. Now that's dedication.

Thank you so much for getting us out of a tough situation in Dallas and Houston! We froze during a cold snap and could not provide power to the people. The homes we service were required to go on rolling power outages at a time when they really needed heat! We felt so bad. Coming to the rescue to unfreeze us was a very kind gesture. It’s important we work together.

From Gov Abbot:
"The Texas power grid has not been compromised. The ability of some companies that generate the power has been frozen. This includes the natural gas & coal generators.
They are working to get generation back on line. ERCOT & PUC are prioritizing residential consumers."
And it was petroleum that got them out of the bind: A helicopter running on fossil fuel spraying a chemical made from fossil fuels onto a wind turbine made with fossils fuels
