And those people will still be dead and all that damage will be doneSo what's happened in TX is just weather according to your definition, and mine BTW. Freezing temps will be gone tomorrow.

You act like other states aren't having power outages over the cold weather........Texas is a Republican dominated state that has refused to integrate their power systems with the rest of the nation - to avoid federal regulation.
Whatever Texas uses as a power source, Texans can only blame themselves and their Republican leadership for this.
All propaganda and spin-----------other states regulated are having the same fucking problems--but the media doesn't harp on them as much.
Other states have limited, short term outages due to bad weather. Not the entire power system for elongated periods.
Even hurricanes don't cause catastrophes like they're having in Texas.
Cold can't shut down natural gas lines you fucking twat.Screw Bloomberg.Bloomberg:
""Don’t point too many fingers at Texas wind turbines, because they’re Not the main reason broad swaths of the state have been plunged into darkness.
While ice has forced some turbines to shut down just as a brutal cold wave drives record electricity demand, that’s been the Least significant factor in the blackouts, according to Dan Woodfin, a senior director for the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, which operates the state’s power grid."...."

He's nothing but a Democrap propagandist.
Bloomberg is citing fact. Texas only gets 10% of it's electricity from wind. As the Washington Post pointed out, Greenland gets it's electricity from wind and despite the cold climate, they have no problems. The cold shut down natural gas lines and forced a shutdown of 1 nuclear reactor. That has nothing to do with green energy. Abbott and other Texas Republicans are lying when they try to blame it on green energy. Aince you are a lying propagandist, it is not surprising you support Republican lies. Republicans are responsible for the failure of the power grid in Texas.
Natural gas is transported at extremely low temperatures. It doesn't freeze till it gets below -297 degrees.
ok Texas, shut up. you sound more stupid every time you post.We normally get cold that lasts for a day or two, a week below freezing especially at the temps we've had this week are extremely rare. Nothing here is built to sustain sub zero wind chill for extended times. It made it up to 34 here today. Temps around 70 are forecast for Sunday.
.
Or keep posting. You are a billboard about how absolutely. beyond imagination, stupid Trump supporters are.
He made a very important point. Normal low in January in Houston is well above freezing...

Normal low in Dallas is also above freezing.

I believe this is the coldest Texas has been in a century.
Infrastructure is normally designed for reasonably-expected extremes, as it costs more to build for the worst extremes ever.
As an example, where I live, everyone has heat pumps to heat their homes. They don't work so well in extreme cold, and they would be worthless up north.
You're comparing local outages from down power lines to entire power stations being out because of lack of preparation for cold weather?That's a fucking lie, I was without power for 16 days after Ike. Just parts of 3 days with these storms.
Bullshit.Cold can't shut down natural gas lines you fucking twat.Screw Bloomberg.Bloomberg:

That is exactly what happened. The cold shut down the pipelines.
"The sub-freezing temperatures stopped production at gas fields in Texas and Oklahoma while damaging pipelines that transport natural gas over long distances. All told, 40% of Texas' natural gas capacity was offline over the weekend just as millions of residents were relying on it most to warm their homes. "
Texas' frozen power grid is a preview of climate-change disasters to come - CBS News
Yes, I have read similar. Please explain. Why, specifically? You did not explain it, after claiming the methane froze.The reason for the drop-off in energy supplies was natural gas. The pipelines were unable to deliver natural gas because of the cold.There is no way that methane froze in the pipelines. It turns to liquid at -300F.
LOL you’re a moron. As I stated, the power generation isn’t usually the problem. You have zero comprehension of how it works if you can say something as stupid as “it wouldn’t matter” if parts fail or go out of balance. Why do you think the agencies that run power grids are called a “Balancing Authority”? If the balance is lost, the power goes out, and yes that can happen when there is too much power just as easily if there isn’t enough. The local outages due to damage cannot be solved by dumping more power, it can only be fixed when the local lines and transformers are fixed.Nice paywall, asshole.Bloomberg:

What nonsense. You don’t know anything about how to maintain a large power grid. When those windmills and solar stop working entirely, it puts an immediate strain on the other generation sites. The BES is down power generation and makes balancing even more difficult. Couple that with a huge uncommon demand makes balancing that much more difficult. It isn’t just about the power output, it’s about balance. Then throw in the weather causing damage to power lines, causing more strain and spikes in the BES. One failure in the BES can lead to a domino effect.
If their Republican leadership had been willing to accept Federal Regulation, their power systems would be integrated with the rest of the country and they'd be supplied with power from outside Texas.
It wouldn't have mattered if parts of their systems failed or went 'Out of Balance'.
So you're saying that it's not the wind mills? It's the lines and transformers?
Funny how so many lines and tranformers don't go bad when sub-zero temperatures happen up north!
Funny how there aren't massive amounts of electrical workers from ohther states moving into Texas to help fix those lines and transformers....
Maybe it as something to do with Texas power systems isolation policies.
Put a half inch of ice on any power system and it will go down. It's that simple.
.
It is not that simple. Cold can freeze natural gas pipelines unless they are protected from the cold.
That federal bullshit...works in every other part of the country.So far so good. You can keep your federal bullshit.
YOUR bullshit failed

Ohh...
Oh my, you have very low standards. That is obvious by the fact you support Trump.Bullshit, Texas. Your grid was not stress tested as the national grid requires. It was Texas not wanting government regulations and the cost that comes with them. You are paying the cost of building a grid on the cheap.But wait...when you were stupidly attacking renewable energy...you fuckers were saying "It's been cold here before and the system worked".Yep they get that shit pretty much every year, the systems are designed for those conditions. This is a 100 year event here.
Your argument seems to shift by the moment.
Face it. Your GOP assholes cheaped out...fucked up...and people are dying
We weren't as reliant on renewables then. Like I said, all the subsidies and tax breaks are directed at renewables now, that kills the profitability of sustainables. EROCT require transmission companies to buy from the generation company the sells the cheapest power in 5 minute windows. On good days when the wind is blowing and the sun is shining, the sustainables can't compete and get no revenue. That has to change.

How has that worked for you.
So far so good. You can keep your federal bullshit.
