Down the Drain

Texas is normally very temperate, but natural gas turbines froze this time because they weren't winterized. Likely a money savings gamble, who knows. That doesn't change the fact that in no way does the situation cast doubt on the existing wisdom of power generation; as if renewables are going to be somehow more reliable. Renewables don't even exist.

I wanted Cardfan to step up and inform us so I could expose his deceit, but I'll accept your effort Outsider. Natural gas is part of the power grid, it wasn't a natural gas failure, the gas was there.
Austin American-Statesman--
Grant Ruckel: “Pipelines do not freeze. They are naturally insulated. They’re buried beneath the ground.”

PolitiFact's ruling: True

The global warming alarmists up and down the line are always on hand to flood the news with supportive data and findings to advance their agenda. NONETHELESS, this thread is about the fact that funding for NG and nuclear concerns will not be included if the Dems get their way on the infrastructure bill.
Sorry, I was busy today, TRT.  Glad Vector could keep you busy and you didn’t have rewatch Tucker or Sean from last night Big Grin 

so the gas equipment failed because they failed to winterize the system. Wonder who said that early in the thread?
TRT, you know why some of the turbines failed?  They weren’t winterized either.  

Both systems had the same problem: failure of oversight.
