I work to install wind power in the western portion of the state. It wasn’t the wind turbines causing this. Honestly, I’m shocked that 20 degree temps collapsed the grid. Inexplicable (except that it’s happened before and they’ve never addressed it.)
Grew up in the Houston area. So how does one of the most air conditioned cities in the world have the power to keep that going in the summer, but doesn't have the power to heat the place on a few cold days?

With all the people in the city and suburbs that have gas heat, shouldn't the blowers running 24/7 draw less power heating than they do cooling in the summer? Is everyone in the city plugging in 20 space heaters at once?

it's a once-in-a-century event and capitalism spent fifty of those ripping all the redundancy and also the copper wiring out of america while telling americans they're the richest country on earth. in terms of number on a computer, not in terms of material conditions for actual americans of course. lmao

My fellow snowflake liberals will never say it out loud, but cancelling student loan debt is completely illogical.

Thank GOD Biden agreed with that last night.

The only debt forgiveness I could get behind is reducing all current student loans to 0% interest.
