Back in the early 1970's, when there was the "oil crisis", and there were very high gasoline prices, and gas rationing, and people were buying kerosene heaters and wood stoves to try to save on energy costs, the Texans drove around with bumper stickers that said, "Let 'em freeze, in the dark!". In Houston, they had another one that said, "“Drive 80 mph and freeze a Yankee”.
Texas has always practiced its own version of exceptionalism within the United States.
I think we should help them remember that.
Fuck Texas.
"Let 'em freeze, in the dark!"
I was thinking about that yesterday and thinking karma's got a funny way of working itself out.
I was also reading that Texas opted out of the grid network to escape Federal regulations.
as posted yesterday, I can't enumerate the pros and cons of Federal regs re this matter, or what regs makes sense, or cost too much, but I have seen more fuck-ups and disasters by morons who insist the regulations apply to others and they know better, so fuck the regulations.
An ounce of prevention costs something, but its generally cheaper than the pound of cure. And you may not find that pound of cure at an affordable price, as everyone's buying cure at the same time.
Maybe Mexico can slip some heat and power over the wall.
