A short thread of Texas Republicans sharing their thoughts on rolling blackouts elsewhere
Senator Ted Cruz: "Hope you don't like air conditioning!" https://twitter.com/tedcruz/status/1296134869320380419
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton: "California’s politicians did this" https://twitter.com/KenPaxtonTX/status/1302739251847626752
Representative Dan Crenshaw: "Alexa, show me what happens when you let Democrats control energy policy." https://twitter.com/DanCrenshawTX/status/1303364789603889154
Lt. Governor Dan Patrick: "This is what happens when the Democrats are left in charge... #KAG" https://twitter.com/DanPatrick/status/1296586576068317184
Senator John Cornyn: "California’s energy nightmare shows us why Texas must trust the free market" https://twitter.com/JohnCornyn/status/1189544476173357057
Rep. Chip Roy (and oldie but a goodie!): "Obama plan = rolling blackouts and massive rate increases." https://twitter.com/chiproytx/status/595791194329903108
Representative Ronny Jackson: "Corrupt 'green' policies that leave us in the dark" https://twitter.com/RonnyJacksonTX/status/1304887512498868226
I'm sure these politicians will apply the same level of rigor and logic in assessing the blackouts currently affecting Texas and compassion for those affected by them
You'll be shocked to learn neither the California nor Texas blackouts are due to renewables. This quote sums it up (and is why we need a new energy system and not more fossil fuels): "Everything that could go wrong is going wrong with the system” https://earther.gizmodo.com/the-real-reason-for-texas-rolling-blackouts-1846279110
You’ll be shocked to learn the viral image of a helicopter supposedly de-icing wind turbines isn’t from Texas in 2021, it’s from Sweden in 2014 https://earther.gizmodo.com/viral-image-claiming-to-show-a-helicopter-de-icing-texa-1846279287
