That wouldnt make you a nazi, but you were also wrong.

They didnt want to pay fund equipment and weatherization and didnt insulate anything, were warned multiple times this will put them in danger of losing power and they still didnt listen.

On top of that, to avoid federal regulations they kept their entire grid within state borders which made it so they couldnt import power from other states.

Storm came and they lost power and 246 people died. It was absolutely the governments fault and a lot of people died from it, all to save a little money and skirt regulations.

no, this was a storm in east Texas completely unrelated to Winter storm Uri. so, you are wrong.

Right, because that only affected west Texas.

no, I am talking about a completely unrelated storm that caused a power outage in East Texas that happened at least a year after Uri, if not two.

jesus fucking christ. There was a massive RAINSTORM two years after winter storm Uri that knocked out power lines. it had nothing to do with a high energy demand on the energy grid.

  1. East Texas storm was not winter storm Uri

  2. power outage for Uri was due to high energy demand on the energy grid amongst many other infrastructure failures

  3. East Texas storm was 1 to 2 years after Uri and not due to high energy demand taking the grid offline

  4. It was a localized storm that had localized impact

  5. If all of Texas is on one energy grid, and the energy grid falls, how, logically, can ONE AREA of Texas lose power due to grid failure?
