They’re both technically terrorism

But one is because the state keeps allowing cops who F their job up face no repercussions

The other is because Congress was formalizing the results of the election

FYI last “generational” winter storm to knock out Texas’ grid was a decade ago.

The new Entergy cogen in lake charles - 20 minutes from the tejas border - is winterized because it’s tied to the national grid. Regulations are a pain in the head and the wallet but they save lives.

Texas kept their power grid separated so they didn’t have to abide by pesky federal regulations requiring things such as winterization.

So we’re blaming the feds for NOT stepping in, stomping on Texas’ right to maintain its own power grid? Really?

sorry man, if I don’t get to snipe brown kids in my free time, I’m out

yup. not even to mention that the US companies the XL portion of keystone would service, where they add in light crude, prefer to have their product refined on the east coast as the refineries there yield a more expensive, better quality product.

Some hack politician said in 2015 “KXL has taken an overinflated role in political discourse. It’s being used as a political cudgel for both parties rather than a serious matter.” Hard not to agree with him.

And BTW...senate Rs struck down an amendment back then that would’ve approved the project congressionally IF only US steel was used and any product resulting from KXL stayed in the US.


It’s not about US energy security, not about jobs, not about the economy. It’ll only create a few thousand temporary jobs, and maybe 30 permanent ones. The oil from Alberta already reaches the gulf through completed phases of Keystone. It’s a big fat nothing burger that changes almost nothing whether it’s built or not.

I mean sure bud, but just remember...whoever sows to please their flesh, from their flesh will reap destruction (Galatians 6:6-10)

Lent is a time of sacrifice for us to remember. This is like saying “I give up eating things besides steak and whiskey”

That’s good to know - I was specifically talking about ibew8 up in Toledo. They have a lower “acceptance” rate than the UM

Natural gas hubs freezing up is actually the main cause of this issue. Why? Because the providers didn’t spend the $$$ winterizing their equipment. Now NatGas prices are through the roof and those stations that are still working are making a killing.

And who is going to end up paying the extra $? Customers are.

Wind is obviously an issue as well, but Gas makes up about 35% of Texas total energy production

I’m not concerned about the debt at all. Idgaf if trump takes his money and run. Just pointing out he isn’t “just some guy in Florida” now.

And ps...the Rs were the ones blocking tax refund checks all during the pandemic. I certainly would’ve liked some of my money back. Cheers.
