Natural gas valves don't freeze up in cold. Canada, Alaska and Siberia were all colder than 40 below in the last month and they didn't have any power failures. The fact is wind will not work in ice storms or sever cold weather efficiently. And then when you have a power outage gas generators or hydroelectric produce high power rates quickly after an outage but wind and solar are slow recovering especially with no sun or wind. Once gain you listened to the idiot progressives like AOC. Don't write these fabricated lies.

Yes once again what you say is just plain stupid. It pretty easy for anyone who can read to discover that the it was the gas and coal generators that dropped causing the outages just like it was 10 years ago before there were wind and solar generation all over the place. Having spent 5 years in Mongolian winters I know a little about winterising industrial plants. The reality is wind turbines operate in many freezing climates if you spend the money allow them to operate. Just the same as valves don't freeze instruments don't fail and all the other things don't fail if you spend the money to correct the deficiencies that they experience just 10 years ago. But Texans don't like to spend money they like to be deregulated and put up with failure. I think they should be left to freeze in their own stupidity and greed. But we all know they will behave just like Canada and pretend it was the tooth fairy (AOC) that caused their problems rather than their own stupidity. You must be really happy living in the US that has 75 m really stupid people you can fit right in with.

What happened in Texas:

Natural gas is why Texas is in crisis. All the valves and control systems don't like the cold so the gas doesn't flow! Solar and wind are taking over because they are cheaper irrespective of government policy. Nuclear is just not economic to build at least not in the US. This week Texas showed what poor policy brings you. They don't plan for freezing weather and when they get it they cannot cope. Wind turbines work in frezzing conditions if you put the anti freeze devices on them. Natural gas flows when you use the correct valves and control systems. Republicans fail again and try to blame everyone but their own policy failures. Maybe if they connected to other grids then they could have been helped out by competent operators.

Doesn't really matter what your political opinion is, how you voted, what news shows you watch -- combustion engines are finished. Ten years from now, gas cars will be like film cameras. As far as the price of gas, it absolutely doesn't matter what Biden does, the (near) long term price of oil is only going one way -- that's down.

Gas cars will still be here 25 years from now. They aren't going anywhere. Most states don't have enough electricity to handle their demand now let alone when half the population switches to electric cars. The electric cars won't be much use without electricity. If they were smart they would switch everything to natural gas. Texas power failure pretty much proved that.

"Washington, the. See. —As more and more Americans start wondering where the $2,000 stimulus checks Joe Biden promised are, especially as he's now decided to start meddling in Syria, Biden issued a statement today clarifying that the stimulus checks were "just an idea."

"The stimulus checks, see, they're just an idea," he said, shrugging off claims that the stimulus checks were supposed to be actual checks sent to Americans. "They're more of a metaphor. You might say the real stimulus checks were just the countries we bombed along the way, Jack. The real stimulus checks, ya see, they were inside us all along."

"You there, the grrr-- the girl with the pretty hair," he said, gesturing toward a reporter in the front row. "You're a stimulus check. And you, the guy with the mustache -- you're a stimulus check. In a way, all of us are stimulus checks when we live according to the American values of love, progress, and unity. We can all become the stimulus checks we wish to see in the world."

Biden's statement brought everyone in the room to tears, and Snopes quickly fact-checked his claim that the stimulus checks were never intended to be literal but were always "just an idea" as "double-plus true."

Heart warming divorce lawyer story.

One afternoon a lawyer was riding in his limousine when he saw two men along the roadside eating grass. Disturbed, he ordered his driver to stop and he got out to investigate.

He asked one man, "Why are you eating grass?" "We don't have any money for food," the poor man replied. "We have to eat grass. " "Well, you can come with me to my house and I'll feed you," the lawyer said.

"But sir, I have a wife and two children with me. They are over there eating grass under that tree. " "Bring them along," the lawyer replied.

Turning to the second poor man he stated, "You may come with us, also. " The other man, in a pitiful voice, then said, "But sir, I also have a wife and six children with me!" "Bring them all as well," the lawyer answered. They all entered the car, which was no easy task, even for a car as large as the limousine. Once under way, one of the poor fellows turned to the lawyer and said, "Sir, you are too kind. Thank you for taking all of us with you. ".

The lawyer replied, "Glad to do it. You'll really love my place. The grass is almost a foot high. ".

Come on, Man! . . . did you really think there was such a thing as a heart-warming lawyer story? Look at Congress -- over 300 Lawyers! Biden is a lawyer and if you are hungry, come on over to his mansion. He has a big lawn with lots of grass that needs trimming! LOL.

"Biden Will Be First Lawyer-President Without a JD From the 'T-14' in a Century" Joe Biden earned his law degree from Syracuse University College of Law in 1968, while Kamala Harris graduated from the University of California Hastings College of the Law in 1989. By Karen Sloan.

This is insane, I would have to pay $1,260 for a full tank of gas. I'd be losing more money then I make so it wouldn't even be worth it to work. This would completely destroy our economy the average person still can't even afford electric cars and they are not sustainable either way.

Biden Announces Ambitious Goal Of $100 Per Gallon Gas By End Of First 100 Days In Office.

"Washington, D. C. In spite of Democrats' best efforts to curb the use of fossil fuels, stubborn Americans continue to use them to power their automobiles and heat their homes. Biden is responding to this crisis with an ambitious new plan to raise the price of gas to $100 per gallon by the end of his first 100 days in office to fight global warming.

"Listen-- all these fossil fuels, they got to stop! Got to stop!" Biden said to the Secret Service agent pumping gas into his presidential limo. "We got to do something about these selfish Americans and one-horse kangaroo herders burning all these fuels without consequences. I know consequences. Just ask Corn Pop and his buddies. When I'm done with 'them, these Americans will never burn a gallon of gas again, Jack!

The administration has announced the "Gas Prices To The Mooooon" campaign-- a series of executive orders designed to drive the price of fuel up to make it unattainable to anyone except John Kerry.

When confronted with the question of how Americans will afford to get around with $100-per-gallon gas, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi suggested they stay home and eat some ice cream instead.

Currently, the average price stands at $2.53 per gallon and rising, which experts say is likely Trump's fault. . ."
