well all righty then.
hope he loses next election, but then this TX so probably not.
Texas local government today is what you might expect of British local government circa 1800. The function is to maintain the social order, keep the rich rich and the poor down.According to him his job isn't to help his constituents in a crisis.
So what is he actually getting paid by his constituents for? Sounds like he's the exact type of person, leeching off the taxpayer and providing no service in return, that he's complaining about!
i also saw the texas gop and national gop blaming frozen wind turbines for the blackouts..i always wonder how dumb people can be and they keep exceeding my expectations..
"Please understand, if I had it to do over again, I would have just kept my words to myself and if I did say them I would have used better wording and been more descriptive," said Boyd.
I've seen that reported in several places. Not that the windmills freezing were the cause of the blackouts, but that they have frozen and the reduced output contributed to the blackouts. It didn't seem like an unreasonable conclusion.i also saw the texas gop and national gop blaming frozen wind turbines for the blackouts..i always wonder how dumb people can be and they keep exceeding my expectations..

It's obviously a complicated issue with many factors but the gop spin is over-reliance on green power is the culprit.I've seen that reported in several places.

Tbh the wind turbines seem to be handling things better than everything else!I've seen that reported in several places.

Actually the real problem is Texas power providers of all types didn't invest in protecting their infrastructure from cold weather. Wind generation still provided a greater than typically expected share of output while gas, nuclear, and coal all had issues with water for cooling freezing shutting down the plants.I've seen that reported in several places.

See now you're using logic and reason. That's kind of a fundamental problem for certain segments of the population...Wind turbines can work fine in the cold. Just ask Scandinavian countries, Canada, Alaska, North sea wind farms. These things can be winterized. But like everything else in Texas they weren't due to no regulation. The bigger problem is non renewable energy being taken off line in Texas due to the same non winterizing policy, especially natural gas.
The issue in Texas has nothing to do with Green energy or fossil fuel energy specifically - it's their overall energy policy in regards to preparedness.
You know very well Fox is framing this so their idiots will blame the wind turbines. Q level misinformation. Wind currently provides 25% of Texas's power. The fact they are freezing just means they are not helping No causal effect.I've seen that reported in several places.

Wind doesn’t work is so easy to say though. Some asshat climate denialist former weather man who is now a state senator in Kansas is saying that coal will be our savior. Despite all evidence to the contrary in Texas.See now you're using logic and reason. That's kind of a fundamental problem for certain segments of the population...
It’s typical greenman bullshit where he tries to pretend that propaganda isn’t actually propagandaYou know very well Fox is framing this so their idiots will blame the wind turbines.

The role of government is to organize the Thunderdome right?You know that government is all about survival of the fittest, right? Isn't that what you were taught in school.

Still selling the seed corn to save pennies. Why can't we have more efficiency in government like Texas.wind turbines designed to work in the cold work in the cold. not all of them. it's a rare enough event in TX that they do not have blade heaters or any of the other things that are required for them to prevent ice buildup. you cant just add these things seasonally. the nacelles we built had totally different ventilation systems, weather proofing, and internal electrical systems between the cold climate and warm climate versions.
