As Leah noted this morning, Texas is undergoing a severe cold snap right now. Millions are without power, with temperatures plunging into the single digits. It’s severe. Some people have tragically died. This winter storm came barreling down during the Presidents’ Day weekend causing the Lone Star State to issue a statewide winter storm warning for the first time, according to The Washington Post.
Two people died from carbon monoxide poisoning after they tried to use their car to heat the home. Another family of six had to be treated for using a charcoal grill to heat their home. What the hell is going on here? I’d expect power grid failures from states like California, which sees rolling blackout during the summer months, but Texas? Deep-red Texas can’t heat the homes of its residents because of snow and ice. If inclement weather shuts you down, what goes is this so-called green energy push? It’s a government-subsidized boondoggle. It always has been, and now loads of people are at risk The Wall Street Journal editorial board knew exactly who to blame for this fiasco.
The op-ed also noted that while California banned coal eons ago, they had to import power from coal plants last summer to ensure their power infrastructure…continued to work.
This is another green nightmare.
