A week before, Texas begged for help and asked for DOE to lift federal regulations barring state's energy output.

Bullshit. The gas pipes froze, the windmills froze, the water lines froze all because the governor did not winterize.

Why the FUCK does Texas need to "Winterize"?????? I thought we were in the middle of unprecedented manmade global warming????

Why you ask?? Because they had a huge winter storm, global warming notwithstanding. And it is not just global warming, lambchop. It is FUCKING
climate change. Got it yet?

The proof is that they admitted it on live tv. You and your proof. Where the hell have you been hiding?

The EO shows the Biden administration basically ordered ERCOT to throttle its energy output by forcing it to comply with environmental green energy standards, while knowing full well Texans could freeze to death in their homes with zero electricity as temperatures plunged into the single digits.

Learn to read. He ordered that emissions limits could be exceeded as necessary.

ERCOT anticipates that this Order may result in exceedance of emissions of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide, mercury, and carbon monoxide emissions, as well as wastewater release limits. To minimize adverse environmental impacts, this Order limits operation of dispatched units to the times and within the parameters determined by ERCOT for reliability purposes.

From February 14, to February 19, 2021, in the event that ERCOT determines that generation from the Specified Resources is necessary to meet the electricity demand that ERCOT anticipates in Texas during this event, I direct ERCOT to dispatch such unit or units and to order their operation only as needed to maintain the reliability of the power grid in the ERCOT region when the demand on the ERCOT system exceeds expected energy and reserve requirements. Specified Resources are those natural gas, coal, or distillate fuel oil generating units set forth on the Order 202-21-1 Resource List, subject to updates directed here and as described in paragraph D, which the Department

and the numerous Texas Govts before him. With that said, they needed more power....that is what this request was about, which the Biden admin destroyed

Wrong. They have never had weather like this and their grid was not a part of the national scheme. Texas did its own thing to avoid regulations, and this is the result.

I think it's been firmly established that the Democrats are lawless, supporters of Muslim terrorism, and backers of rioters and looters all over the country.
Now we can establish that they are busy murdering people by causing power outages during extreme weather.
This isn't a fantasy. This is reality.
When you have a political party that sabotages it's own country's infrastructure for it's own nefarious gains....we have the greatest threat to this nation in our history.

Republican profiteers sabotaged Texas's grid.

Are you serious?

Absolutely.. Texas only gets 10% of their power from wind turbines.. This is a cascading screw up... and they are looking for someone to blame.

Texas has been ordered to increase the amount of power that is derived from renewable energy sources by the federal government and decrease emissions from plants using fossil fuels.
If what you say is true, which it is not, 10% of the energy grid dumps right in the middle of a huge increase in demand.
What do you think happened to the grid as a result of this huge surge?
Well, you get blackouts cutting off the power to millions of people trying to heat their homes with solar panels. If they have generators installed in their homes to make up this loss of power that use natural gas....the pressure in the lines drops.....rendering them useless. I think alot of people in Texas have installed natural gas fired generators in their homes because of the constant loss of power due to storms.

Now....if the Democrats are successful in changing the grid over to 60% of the allowable sources must be wind or solar, what do you think will happen if a storm wipes out the windfarms and solarfarms?

Bullshit. The gas pipes froze, the windmills froze, the water lines froze all because the governor did not winterize.

Texas’ natural gas production just froze under pressure

Freeze-offs slashed natural gas production.

www.theverge.com

Natural gas wells and pipes ill-equipped for cold weather are a big reason why millions of Texans lost power during frigid temperatures this week. As temperatures dropped to record lows across some parts of the state, liquid inside wells, pipes, and valves froze solid.

Ice can block gas flow, clogging pipes. It’s a phenomenon called a “freeze-off” that disrupts gas production across the US every winter

Politifact is lying. This emergency order came after it was too late.
The emergency order came long after the deep freeze hit Texas.

Pursuant to the authority vested in the Secretary of Energy by section 202(c) of the Federal Power Act (FPA), 16 U.S.C. § 824a(c), and section 301(b) of the Department of Energy Organization Act, 42 U.S.C. § 7151(b), and for the reasons set forth below, I hereby determine that an emergency exists in Texas due to a shortage of electric energy, a shortage of facilities for the generation of electric energy, and other causes, and that issuance of this Order will meet the emergency and serve the public interest.


On February 14, 2021, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), the Independent System Operator (ISO) whose service territory includes 90 percent of the electric customers in the state of Texas, filed a Request for Emergency Order Under Section 202(c) of the Federal Power Act (Application) with the United States Department of Energy (Department) "to preserve the reliability of bulk electric power system."

Based on my determination of an emergency set forth above, I hereby order:


A. From February 14, to February 19, 2021, in the event that ERCOT determines that generation from the Specified Resources is necessary to meet the electricity demand that ERCOT anticipates in Texas during this event, I direct ERCOT to dispatch such unit or units and to order their operation only as needed to maintain the reliability of the power grid in the ERCOT region when the demand on the ERCOT system exceeds expected energy and reserve requirements. Specified Resources are those natural gas, coal, or distillate fuel oil generating units set forth on the Order 202-21-1 Resource List, subject to updates directed here and as described in paragraph D, which the Department shall post on www.energy.gov.

Yeah...I read that.....too little...too late.

That happened in Trumps America.

Biden hasn't had a chance to enact a green new deal, so what you're talking about came about while Trump was running the country.

Oops.....

Read the actual words of Biden's proclamation, rather than just cherry-pick.
They gov't knows and you do not.

ERCOT didn't make the request until February 14th.
DOE granted their request February 14th.

Maybe if DOE was run by Nostradamus, they would have granted the request two centuries earlier.

Best they could do under the circumstances, as soon as possible and same day after the request was made. It took Bush 2 weeks to attack the hurricane damage in Louisiana. That is what I call "too little. too late".

Bullshit. Bush offered assistance before the storm hit and those Democrat assholes refused to accept it.
This is a fact nobody can argue with.

Well no they have had freezes like this before, going back to the 80s at least.

Texas is hooked up to the other grids....hence why they were able to buy power from them.

ECROT not being part of the National grid dosen't cancel that, nor does it mean they aren't subject to Federal laws and regulations, in particular, as in this case, enviromental laws
