Hard times. Sorry. Find a back-up for the next time and the next.

I really don't buy the "deys be contollin da wetha" shit. But there really is no excuse for Texas to be losing power over a few heaters when most heating is done with gas and Texas already has a grid that can power AC's in literally every building all day all summer at the same time.

They shut the power off just to fuck with people. Or to test out what will happen. They been pushing "muh china can crash the electric grid" conspiracies lately. This could be the test run for when they run that whole false flag operation.

They were forced to build renewables which are shitty at everything and completely failed.

Only 15% of the grid were renewables. It just doesn't compute. They could easily have told everyone to conserve unnecessary power usage like lights, tv, laundry, washing machines, and reduced need by far more than 15%.

A few hours of blackout is reasonable. More than a day is absolutely not.
