Thanks to Obama, the "green" Democrats, Al Gore, and the New World Order United Nations, Texas is in ruins. My heart breaks for the people of Texas. I just watched 16 minutes of videos of the damage from broken pipes. This is unconscionable. The forecast was clearly known days in advance. Why weren't the coal powered electric generating facilities allowed to operate? Why weren't citizens warned to shut off the water source to their homes and businesses? Who's going to pay the price for this negligence? The insurance companies? The "green" Democrat politicians? The taxpayers? |

US President Joe Biden is set to declare a major disaster for Texas, clearing the way for more federal funds to be spent on relief efforts. Power is returning in the state and temperatures are set to rise but some 13 million people are still facing difficulties accessing clean water. Mr Biden has said he will visit Texas as long as his presence is not a burden on relief efforts. Nearly 60 deaths have been attributed to cold weather across the US. White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki confirmed Mr Biden has asked his team to expedite Texas' request for a disaster declaration. He has also been in touch with the mayors of some of Texas' biggest cities, such as Houston, Austin and Dallas, to ensure they have access to government resources, an administration official said. Texas Was Warned a Decade Ago Its Grid Was Unready for Cold https://www.bloombergquint.com/technology/texas-was-warned-a- decade-ago-its-grid-was-unprepared-for-cold (Bloomberg) -- Federal regulators warned Texas that its power plants couldn’t be counted on to reliably churn out electricity in bitterly cold conditions a decade ago, when the last deep freeze plunged 4 million people into the dark. They recommended that utilities use more insulation, heat pipes and take other steps to winterize plants -- strategies commonly observed in cooler climates but not in normally balmy Texas. “Where did those recommendations go, and how were they implemented?” said Jeff Dennis, managing director of Advanced Energy Economy, an association of clean energy businesses. “Those are going to be some pretty key questions.” As investigators probe the current power crisis in Texas, which has left millions of people without power or a promise of when it will be restored, questions are sure to be raised about how the state responded to the urgings from the 2011 analysis, issued by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and the North America Electric Reliability Corporation, which sets reliability standards. The February 2011 incident occurred when an Arctic cold front descended on the Southwest, sending temperatures below freezing for four days in a row. The result was disastrous. Equipment and instruments froze, forcing the shutdown of power plants and rolling blackouts, according to the report. Moreover, some of the same equipment, the report noted, had failed during previous cold snaps. One in December 1989 prompted the state’s grid operator to resort to system-wide rolling blackouts for the first time. “Many generators failed to adequately apply and institutionalize knowledge and recommendations from previous severe winter weather events, especially as to winterization of generation and plant auxiliary equipment,” the 2011 report said. |

and by the Democrats and the New World Order/Reset that have eviscerated Texas energy supplies which made this country energy independent. That measly relief will not make all those businesses and families whole, but it will more than likely line the pockets of Democrat cronies who will benefit from this disaster. Many of those Texas businesses will go bankrupt and be bought out...by who?...China?...big money DEM cronies?...Mexico? Since KKK/CCP Biden took office our gas prices have risen, our energy costs have risen. Even if you don't own a car, food prices have gone through the roof because those energy prices are affecting the entire food change and those higher costs are passed on to the consumers. The KKK/CCP Biden led administration has been a disaster from day one. |

Whole post belongs on wowows as its one giant CT aimed to attack non-trumps and do nothing for those who actually suffer in the great state of Texas (I have family there I've been talking to). Even the republican Governor isn't pushing this CT any longer...only the alt-right whacko contingent sites are. Do you have any real sources to back up your claims?? posts: 1088 Biden blame: 2 Obama blame: 128 NWO blame: 50 no source/link: 274 blatant racism: 82 |

The Day After Tomorrow (2004) should have been a head's up... and is ironic with Trump's obsession with spending millions on border wall building when it could have been money better spent on investing into infrastructure to better cope with climate extremes.

I don't sense that Democrats are the source of everything gone wrong and that Republicans are equally responsible...the system basically has a corrupt foundation imo. |
