Hence, the problem.

There are plenty of us that are Dems here in Texas. Not everyone is a Republican but they do run the state unfortunately.

They are ready to die for their freedom. Yet they are stymied by cold weather, facemasks, and sitting on their couches.

We should offer them electricity, and then they can decide whether to accept it.

Why even offer them that? They want independence, I'm sure they understand that with freedom comes responsibility.

Yes this is a good practice run for when they withdraw from the US. Bootstraps.

We can always offer. But Texas shouldn't accept, cause bootstraps.

None of their congressional delegation voted for aid to New York and New Jersey after Hurricane Sandy, so they shouldn’t vote for federal aid now either.

Why isn't Texas turning down aid and declaring themselves an independent state that can take care of themselves?

We all know why.
Praying not people in Texas don't freeze to death. I'm sure if they don't, they will keep on voting for the GOP until they succeed in killing them one way or another.

They have no mechanism to accept it. Because they didn’t trust FDR.

Here you go Texas!

Yup, my bad. https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/texas-hit-by-freezing-cold-enacts-rolling-blackouts-1030083830?op=1

The problem is the Electric Reliability Counsel, their leadership, and their devotion to green energy. Those areas not under the ERC? No blackouts.

The areas not under ERCOT are part of larger electric grids. That's the reason, not anything to do with green power. The storm took a lot of Texas's plants offline, both green and fossil fuels; under those circumstances areas that connect to grids outside the state are better off than those just attached to Texas plants.

Exactly. the issue is Texas wanting to avoid federal regulation by crossing state lines with their energy import/export. That isn't a Dem thing. Maybe Gov Abbot and Senators Cruz and Cornyn should have been more focused on Climate Change and investing in the state energy program rather than playing identity pollitics to pwn the libs.
