I’m sure everyone recalls a large majority of the state losing power when it was fucking cold and people ended up dying Now we might lose power because it’s hot as fuck For reference: Fuck this stupid state man
Is the state of Texas actually working to improve their infrastructure? This isn’t going to be a thing much longer, is it?
Lol fuck no. It’s going to keep happening and the state government will throw up their hands and say there’s nothing they can do about.
Imagine having your head so far up your ass of state pride that you still think you can operate as an independent country.
I heard from a service industry acquaintance that some asshole Texan tourists were being total pieces of shit about being politely asked to put their masks on - "we're from Texas" ... "freedom" blah blah etc. Bitch do you like our sweet Oregon air conditioning?
I imagine that saying "We're from California! Civic responsibility!" would go over well if I ever hit my head, lost 70 IQ points, and decided it would be fun to go touristing in fucking Texas
“You won’t have reliable electricity, but you’ll sleep well at night knowing there’s a border wall protecting you from Mexicans!”
It’s been hotter than that for 2 weeks in several upper Midwest states and we are flush with electricity as a matter of fact I’m using extra electricity to make up for our Texas posters
I tell you what, I can't remember a single time in my life where I have lost electricity because it got too cold or too hot here in Virginia
My dual stack, tuned diesel generator with upgraded injectors and dpf delete can handle whatever ERCOT throws at me.
-Texas has 20 percent of the entire nation’s solar energy potential. -But they have implemented less solar-powered wattage than states with far less solar potential including New York, New Jersey, and Massachusetts. “So why is Texas's solar sector floundering when other energy sources, even other fledgling renewable-energy sources, are surging? In short, because a confluence of policy choices and economic forces have stunted the state's solar growth — and few solar advocates see hope that the state landscape will change anytime soon.” -Texas succession would be an Idiocracy sequel. But with guns.
