You seem very concerned with Biden and yet have nothing to say about Cruz and his actions? Bias? Was Cruz elected or did he steal it? You ask me to comment about Biden. Comment about Cruz and his actions. Since you think you have all the answers, why don't you tell me exactly what Cruz could/should have done with the position he holds. why don't you tell me exactly what Cruz could/should have done with the position he holds. NOT GO TO MEXICO. Freeze and suffer with his constituents. If it's good enough for them, it's good enough for him. JFC you have NO words of criticism for him but paragraphs for Biden? That is ridiculous. Biden did something FEMA be damned. He declared a state of emergency. You are beyond help.

Good point. But he is in the office........so? To the rest of your concerns, stop watching right wing media. Right wing media? He said all those things with one of the most left people in media. Anderson Cooper. Here a little info for you about FEMA, you seamed to not understand what they are. Some people have referred to it as the "secret government" of the United States. It is not an elected body, it does not involve itself in public disclosures, and it even has a quasi-secret budget in the billions of dollars. This government organization has more power than the President of the United States or the Congress, it has the power to suspend laws, move entire populations, arrest and detain citizens without a warrant and hold them without trial, it can seize property, food supplies, transportation systems, and can suspend the Constitution. Not only is it the most powerful entity in the United States, but it was not even created under Constitutional law by the Congress. It was a product of a Presidential Executive Order. No, it is not the U.S. military nor the Central Intelligence Agency, they are subject to Congress. The organization is called FEMA, which stands for the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Originally conceived in the Richard Nixon Administration, it was refined by President Jimmy Carter and given teeth in the Ronald Reagan and George Bush Administrations. FEMA had one original concept when it was created, to assure the survivability of the United States government in the event of a nuclear attack on this nation. It was also provided with the task of being a federal coordinating body during times of domestic disasters, such as earthquakes, floods and hurricanes. Its awesome powers grow under the tutelage of people like Lt. Col. Oliver North and General Richard Secord, the architects on the Iran-Contra scandal and the looting of America's savings and loan institutions. FEMA has even been given control of the State Defense Forces, a rag-tag, often considered neo-Nazi, civilian army that will substitute for the National Guard, if the Guard is called to duty overseas. THE MOST POWERFUL ORGANIZATION IN THE UNITED STATES You are entirely one cracked nut. No wonder you did not wish to discuss the Patel video in the election thread with me privately. You have no interest in other ideas or contrarian views. You are Q and I will engage you no further.

What has Cruz done? He lives there, doesn't he? What has Pelosi done in California? Her district is San Francisco and that is one of the worst shit holes in America. Maybe she was holed up in her house eating ice cream?

Are you fucking kidding me? So wind energy drops 90 something percent and nuclear drops some 26 percent while gas goes up 400+ percent and coal goes up some other percent and there are STILL massive power outages? Let me say it again. THERE WERE STILL MASSIVE POWER OUTAGES THAT FOSSIL FUELS COULD NOT OVERCOME. Doesn't say very much for fossil fuels that a greater than 400 percent increase cannot cover a 90% loss in less than 15% of the ENTIRE power supply chain that is wind energy. Seems to make the case to me that fossil fuels are not the savior of anything. Your own damn video tells you everything you need to know about free market capitalism and fossil fuels. But you refuse to see it.

Maybe she was holed up in her house eating ice cream? Again, whataboutisms. Yet another post about a terrible, crucifiable, jailable liberal and NOTHING about the terrible shit the GOP fuck has done. What aboutism, fake news, communism all equal GOP go to buzz words and justifications when they have no defense for their reps actions. Kinda give GOhyPocrisy new meaning. Or just the same old song and dance.

But you refuse to see it. Lets assume during an average Feb day in Texas they use 100,000 megawatts 40k is natural gas 25k is wind 20k is coal 10k is nuclear 5k is solar Now during a 100 year event they need 400,000 megawatts may 500,000 because of the extra heating demands. Lets use 500k. Natural gas went from 25k up to 200k 400% more Wind goes down from 25k to 2,500 90% less Solar goes from from 5K to 500 90% less Nuc stays the same? 500k -200,000 Gas -2,500 -500 = a short fall of the 297,000 needed megawatts because of the heating demand. Then again you are the resident genius, you know this already.

Then again you are the resident genius, you know this already. This is all assuming those figures posted are accurate, which I would dispute as it has been widely reported that renewable energy accounts for less than 15% of Texas power production and you assert that it contributes 35%. Besides all that, you ignore the fact that immediate surrounding states are NOT in the news for power outages. And you also ignore the fact that Texas, in it's never-ending fight for independence, effectively de-coupled itself from the national power grid in the name of independence and deregulation. That independence and deregulation lead to all of this. Oklahoma, Arkansas and all other surrounding states are NOT suffering from the same blackouts NO MATTER their reliance on fossil fuels or renewable energy. You won't address this and you won't admit it. No matter what you say about fossil fuel electrical generation and renewable, no surrounding states suffered as Texas has and it is all due to their pursuit of deregulation and independence. Congratulations. This storm did not only happen in Texas and Texas is not the only state in this that has renewable energy. To blame this on renewables is disingenuous and dishonest. Texas fucked itself and it is on display for all the world to see. I would bet that they all wished that global warming was a little bit more real today. Probably about 30 degrees truer than is has been recently.

Constitution𝒻𝒾𝓇𝓈𝓉 Constitution𝒻𝒾𝓇𝓈𝓉 @smith_WessonGirl 27m · · Politics · Edited "Texas has its own electrical grid and plenty of excess power generation capability. Yet, right now, millions of Texans are freezing in the dark. Here’s why. Texas both produces and consumes more electricity than any other state. Texas’ abundant natural resources, including natural gas, coal, and wind, are readily available to fuel our power plants. Texas is the only one of the contiguous 48 states with its own stand-alone electricity grid, one of the three main grids in the U.S.: the Eastern Interconnection, Western Interconnection, and Texas Interconnection. The Texas Interconnection, which covers 213 of the 254 Texas counties, is managed by the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, or ERCOT. Portions of Texas near the state’s borders are covered by the eastern and western grids. Texas produces more electricity than it consumes and maintains a buffer referred to as the “state’s reserve margin.” This margin ensures that we should never have to suffer from rolling blackouts like California. Then why are so millions of Texans without power right now? Why are we dealing with rolling blackouts? ✅ The answer is all-too-familiar: our relationship with the federal government. In anticipation of this unprecedented power demand, Texas could have maxed out power generation. However, we couldn’t. Like a lowly beggar, Texas had to first ask for permission from the federal government to generate enough power to keep our people warm. Why? Because cranking up our power plants to full production might violate federal pollution limits. There is a clear metaphor here. Texans were powerless because our elected officials ceded authority to a slow-moving, uncaring gaggle of federal bureaucrats." - Texas Nationalist Movement, Feb 16, 2021. How did surrounding state get around these "Texas had to first ask for permission from the federal government to generate enough power to keep our people warm. Why? Because cranking up our power plants to full production might violate federal pollution limits." Did this storm only hit Texas? Are there power failures in surrounding states we have not heard about due to liberal MSM? How did these liberal states evade the same regulations Texas was forced to observe. Are the commies to blame in Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana and New Mexico?
