I go offline a few days and return to a GOP Gov blaming policies he hasn’t even implemented for his own failures.
Gov. Abbott doesn’t seem to have a grasp on his state, so here’s a reminder: Texas runs 80-90% on fossil fuels.
The real “deadly deal” is his failed leadership.

Throughout Monday, many thermal power plants remained offline, as freeze-offs + fuel shortages in gas pipelines forced large numbers of natural gas plants offline. Many coal plants likely struggled as well w/frozen coal piles, but breakdown of thermal outages by fuel type unclear

ERCOT started directing electric utilities (like Oncor or Austin Electic) to start rolling blackouts or involuntary emergency load shedding at 1:25am on Monday morning, with 10,500 MW shed during that late morning. That's ~2 million homes worth of load ercot.com/news/releases/show…

Main story continues to be the failure of thermal power plants -- natural gas, coal, and nuclear plants -- which ERCOT counts on to be there when needed. They've failed. Of about 70,000 MW of thermal plants in ERCOT, ~25-30,000 MW have been out since Sunday night. Huge problem.

Anyways, here's what the people in charge of Texas' power grid are ~actually~ saying
Surprise, it's the opposite of what Faulkner said! teapaw.org/ctraywick/status/13617…

Fualkner is having another segment about Texas' made-up 'green energy crisis' which I'm not posting because it's all bullshit
It conveniently neglects to mention that wind power is generating ~more~ than forecast, and that gas and coal plants are down and pipelines are frozen

1. Millions of Americans aren't saying this
2. It isn't true
3. This show fucking sucks
"Millions of Americans in the cold and dark say the lack of power is because of green energy policies and the vilification of oil, gas, and coal -- the stuff that ~really~ keeps you warm"

This is good: "US rioters face 10 years in prison due to Trump’s law targeting BLM protesters"

Once agian at the capital a large number of people have gathered.
I have seen the organizers speak on love and peace. Turn around and shake a police officers hand.
There will be no violence today. Only love & progress.
