    Here's a thread that's a bit over-due.  The Texas freeze has been talked about elsewhere but it is a major even and the discussion really does not relate to the PG&E thread.

    So OK, most of us here are at least left-leaning if not outright die-hard liberals, but what has and is happening in Texas is a human issue and, believe it or not, not all Texans are cretins deserving of a slow and painful death.  Take my aunt-in-law and cousin-in-law who live there.  Wonderful, lovely people. We have wonderful forum members here we care about.  Let's keep this humane.

    What I'm hoping for is that we'll see people across the nation help out in a time of need.  It looks like the Biden and the feds via FEMA are stepping up as they should be.  Here's what's going on that way:


    Maybe if we give our southern fellow country women and men a helping hand they and we will become more connected instead of being at each others throats. 


    The utility situations in California and Texas are very comparable, and somewhat proves trumps point of a liberal media bias.

    In Texas, the liberal media was quick to correctly point out it is the republican state governments responsibility to regulate, review and approve every dollar that  is spent to improve assets, yet in California, the liberal media constantly vilifies the utility and holds the democratic state government nearly blameless, even when the evidence is overwhelming the state of California rejected attempts to invest in infrastructure improvements. 

    In order to turn the page, it’s important for all of us who vote to understand what we are voting for. And most voters do not fully understand the government’s enormous role in utility management, I guess until it’s a republican state that screws up.
    That’s a good point.  The one in 2003 was a pretty big deal and effected mostly liberal states.

    New Yorkers were without power for 2 weeks after hurricane Sandy...(shouldn’t the infrastructure be prepared for hurricanes by now)?
    The 2011 Southwest blackout was no walk in the park:

     shouldn’t the infrastructure be prepared for hurricanes by now)?”

    90mph winds, ocean storm surges, and wildfires have the power to immediately destroy assets no matter what improvements are made.

    Humans have proven, in hundreds of localities across the world, utility assets can be successfully winterized.

    After sandy, assets near the shore like substations have mostly been raised ten feet, but if climate conditions continue to deteriorate and the next big storm has a 15 foot surge?

    The conspiracy theory that Texas's snow is fake and made by the government has enough legs that snopes is weighing in.

    I would love to find the thread where this is actually discussed to make Snopes put something out about it, or "threads" but then again they believe that Snopes is funded by Soros and the deep state too.

    local radio mentioned it. tik tok video. torch on a sbowball. vaporied it so because it didnt melt to liquid its fake.

    If the government can control weather, then I am requesting 72 with low humidity this Summer.

    They took a torch to snow and it didn't melt right?

    You mean it didn't melt how they thought it should?

    Fuckin' science does it every time! Damn egg heads and their made up theories. 
    It's a hopeless situation...
  • wasn’t fake at all, sad that that was out there.  I got out unscathed with only no power for three days and no water for two. I just loaned $10k today to an employee of mine to help her family pay for home repairs while she waits for her homeowners insurance to do something to help her.  I wouldn’t even have had it if not for the ppp!
