Texas continues its march toward 3rd world status: Day 4 of no power

[citygator]

Texas can’t handle cold weather, hot weather, or storms with its shit power grid. It is an embarrassment to the rest of the nation. No wonder CNBC rated the state as #50 in quality of life. Houston is now the nations 3rd largest city and it has had no power for 4 days. Unprecedented number of people living in the third world. Its people deserve better than the incompetent social justice warrior right wingers who run that state.

I wonder if Ted Cruz has left the state? Im sure the Federal Government will bail them out… again.

CNN —
Half a million Houston-area homes and businesses may not have their power restored until next week amid sweltering summer heat, even as many in the region struggle to access fresh food, air conditioning and safe drinking water.

More than 1 million power customers in southeast Texas – mainly between Galveston and north of Houston – are still without power after Hurricane Beryl hurtled into the Gulf Coast on Monday, leaving at least 10 people dead in Texas, two dead in Vermont and one dead in Louisiana.

The outages have debilitated infrastructure across the region, including hospitals, assisted living facilities and water treatment plants, leading to mounting frustrations from residents that Houston’s main utility, CenterPoint Energy, was not more prepared for the storm.

Texas' power grid has absolutely NOTHING to do with power outages that occur from hurricanes.

Texas' ERCOT power grid is working just fine. You have 30 million people living in Texas all have power except 1.3 million and that been lowered now to only half a million who don't have power, so 28 million people in Texas NEVER lost power. Texas grid is working just fine.

Downed power lines, and busted transformers on poles, gas meters installed... that is the responsibility of Centerpoint. Texas' ERCOT monitors electrical usage. It does NOT put up wires, transformers, gas meters, etc... The heavy winds blew in certain directions that affected less than 2 million people.

Sounds mucho hyperbolic to me. The only place in Texas that's "Third World" is the Southern Border as Biden's invasion continues.

Hurricanes cause damage and require time to fix, usual bullshit from usual lying lefties.

 

[Mr Natural]

Yeah, but their taxes are low.

 

[Maxdeath]

You have to hand it to the crazy people. Texas is sooo bad.
They had a hurricane with very high winds. Why oh why did they not prepare by having power poles and lines that could not be knocked over by high winds or falling trees? But let power be knocked out by a tornado or an ice storm and these same low IQ crazies are completely silent

Biden says he had to push for Beryl aid request with Abbott ...​

Houston Chronicle

4 days ago — President Joe Biden discusses the federal disaster declaration following Hurricane Beryl with Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and FEMA Director ...

President Joe Biden said Tuesday that the federal government could not distribute emergency relief supplies, including power generators, after Hurricane Beryl hit Texas until the White House was able to “track down” state leaders and get their formal request for a major disaster declaration.


Biden’s comments came as Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick is serving as acting governor while Greg Abbott is on an economic development trip in Asia. The president said in an exclusive interview with the Houston Chronicle that he had been trying to contact the governor to get the necessary requests to release the federal aid, which includes manpower and supplies.

“I’ve been trying to track down the governor to see — I don’t have any authority to do that without a specific request from the governor,” Biden said.

They're just upset they can't charge their tinkertoy EVs

Well Harris county is mostly 3rd World now and where 1-million of the outages are centered.

Just look at their "leadership" and it will tell you all you need to know.

Didn’t they just have a hurricane?

Wow you people are pathetic.

Have you ever managed a power grid? You don’t know anything about it.

 

[theHawk]

It also doesn’t help that Texas takes the brunt of mass illegal immigration, and all those people aren’t staying in tent cities, they use power just like everyone else. Third worlders vastly increase their carbon footprint when arriving in the US. How is that good for global warming lefties?

It's Trump's fault.

He's orange. He's a man. He's bad.

LOL Stupid Texans haven't figured out how to control hurricanes.

Don't worry give the demoquacks a few more trillion for globull warming and they they'll fix it

 

[Marener]

LOL Stupid Texans haven't figured out how to control hurricanes.

They haven’t figured out how to build a power grid and infrastructure capable of bouncing back quickly from a hurricane.

 

[Rawley]

Yup, dey stoopid.

Yup, dey stoopid.

Incompetent and short sighted.

Planning for hurricanes seems like a good idea when you get hit with hurricanes.

Texas continues its march toward 3rd world status: Day 4 of no power​

TRANSLATION: triggered whining leftist rant that red states should not suffer major natural disasters now to deflect from the fact that his candidate is a major losing doosh bag.

 

[Polishprince]

Its not "3rd world status" to lose power for several days due to a natural disaster like a tremendous hurricane.

3rd world status is when you lose power due to "load shedding" because you aren't able to generate enough juice.
