Texas Blasted for GOP’s ‘Typical Yee-Haw Considering’ After 2 Million Lose Energy in Snowstorm

The Texas GOP leadership was slammed on Monday after a winter storm knocked out power across the state.

“The state’s utility company lost control of electricity Monday morning because 2 million Texas households had no heating or other electrical appliances at home as a massive winter storm caused freezing temperatures across the state,” the Texas Tribune reported Monday.

“When the state network operator, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, began implementing rolling power outages on Monday at 1:25 am, the outages should be implemented on a rolling basis – according to ERCOT, up to 45 minutes per affected area. Explained the stands. “Instead, some Texans in Austin, Houston and other cities were without power on Monday afternoon and the whole morning, even before ERCOT demanded the rolling blackouts. And some companies that provide electricity to homes and businesses have told customers that if they work to restore power generating units that went offline during the storm, they will be without power until the end of the day at least. “

Journalist and Texan Kurt Eichenwald has ripped the Republicans for the crisis.

“If Texas were on the national grid, our homes wouldn’t be as low as 15 degrees. But no, we had the typical Yeee-Haw thinking, we are better than everyone else. Or we could have planned ahead and made sure our wind turbines had cold weather packages – companies like Siemens sell them considering how much power is coming from turbines that are now frozen, ”he wrote.

“Instead, those idiots who think they know more than experts say, ‘Yee-haw! Hardy-Hardy-Har! It’s so cold and the libraries say global warming !! Har har. Now let’s look at the Bachelor. ‘It wouldn’t be nearly as bad if 1. The US invested money in our power grid. 2. When Texas either stepped onto the national grid, bought cold temperature packages for turbines, or both, and 3. heard science, ”he explained.

“But as always, we’re ruled by fools who think they’re smart, who prepare for sissies, who laugh at science, and who worry more about tax cuts than public safety. We are trapped for the dumbest of us. And through the people they vote in, we quickly transform into a 3rd world country and cheer for how extraordinary we are, ”he said.

… Preparation is for wimps who laugh at science and care more about lowering taxes than about public safety. We are trapped for the dumbest of us. And by the people in whom they vote, we quickly transform into a country of the 3D world and cheer for how extraordinary we are.
