Dirty
Laundry
I'm over here doing my "Trump
Taxes Have Been Released By the Supreme
Court Happy Dance". It involves
a lot of finger waving. Two of them,
specifically, aimed towards Florida.

From everything I've read so far about
the Texas electric grid failure tells
me the most reliable part of the energy
generation would have been....
Wind turbines.
IF they are properly winterized.
Natural gas-powered generating stations
primarily failed because of lack of
production of enough natural gas. And
a nuclear facility shut down because
it was constructed with its turbines
outside the building and the feedwater
sensing systems shut it down when they
failed due to extreme cold.
U.S. states and foreign countries in
routinely colder climes have no problem
running wind turbines. Texas needs
more of them, not less.

Dear Texas Republicans;
There are many of you who will never
see this message because you have no
power or no internet but if you're
cold, hungry and don't see much help
coming then you're suffering at the
hands of Republican policies. The GOP
has run Texas for 20 years and they're
not about serving the public, they're
about fleecing the public. They're
about bowing to their great god of
petroleum above all else.
Your predilection for conservative
single-issue voting is hurting you
and it's hurting this entire country.
Conservatives, please understand. Democrats
aren't coming for your guns, they won't
force you to get abortions, and they'll
let you keep any religious tradition
you find customary. What Democrats
do is fix things and make jobs. They
always have. (And they will prepare
in advance of the next polar vortex
if given the chance.)
This year both Texas and the U.S. came
THIS close to being failed states due
to Republican philosophies. Maybe that's
what you want, but I'm hoping when
you're burning your furniture to boil
contaminated water so your kids can
have something safe to drink that you
have your doubts.
Join us in the Blue universe. What
more do you have to lose?
