From Tucker Carlson:
"If there's one thing you would think Texas would be able to do, it's keep the lights on. Most electricity comes from natural gas and Texas produces more of that than any place on the continent. There are huge natural gas deposits all over the state.
Running out of energy in Texas is like starving to death at the grocery store: You can only do it on purpose, and Texas did. Rather than celebrate and benefit from their state's vast natural resources, politicians took the fashionable route and became recklessly reliant on so-called alternative energy, meaning windmills.
Fifteen years ago, there were virtually no wind farms in Texas. Last year, roughly a quarter of all electricity generated in the state came from wind. Local politicians were pleased by this. They bragged about it like there was something virtuous about destroying the landscape and degrading the power grid. Just last week, Republican Gov. Greg Abbott proudly accepted something called the Wind Leadership Award, given with gratitude by Tri Global Energy, a company getting rich from green energy. So it was all working great until the day it got cold outside. The windmills failed like the silly fashion accessories they are, and people in Texas died."
Expecting rolling blackouts nationwide this Summer. Warned the wife to get used to no AC for extended periods. Expect gas pump prices to double or more. Maybe even the return of rationing.
ReplyDeleteQuestion: who will reap the whirlwind on this one? Will the Marxists get away with blaming it all on "Capitalism"? They got away with stealing an election so the odds are in their favor.
Yes, I think they will.
ReplyDeleteThey will get away with it, in the sense that that is the message the media and about 50% of the nation will believe.
