As Texas freezes in the dark, Ted Cruz takes his family to Cancun
The freeways were closed due to ice and snow, so Cruz got transportation assistance from the Houston Police Department. Even the GOP governor of Texas remained in Austin, in temporary quarters due to busted pipes. Cruz knows that, like Trump, he is bullet proof and can do whatever he wants without consequences. --------------> https://www.dallasnews.com/news/poli...without-power/

Cruz is returning because the media found out about his trip. Not that he needs to. Cruz is bullet proof.

That's what many thought about GA. How'd that work out?

I guess they hold Ted in such high regard they think he can change the weather and restore power in one single bound? Really.
He is just another target on the right tagged for elimination.

What, exactly, is Cruz supposed to do?
He's a Senator. Not a Governor or Mayor. Do you expect him to roll up his sleeves and start handing out firewood on a street corner?
This mess is 100% because Texas - as a State - decided to go with too much 'Green' energy. That means when the wind turbines don't turn and the solar arrays are covered in snow & ice, they don't have sufficient power to meet demand.
Ted's only role here is to remind Texas that depending on solar and wind to meet demands without having backup is stupid. They're a huge oil & natural gas state.
This is what happens when Proggies get involved in critical infrastructure. Pushing this stupid green agenda with no common sense Plan B to provide energy has lethal consequences.
This is a good reminder to the rest of the country that green energy is unreliable. It's okay to dabble in it, but insanely reckless to implement it without keeping in mind reliable backup.
Who cares if Cruz went to Cancun? This wasn't his idea nor does he have any power to fix it or assist.
This is the Babbling Buffoon Biden's arena for Fed disaster relief, and the Governor and the different Mayors around the State.
How's Biden measuring up on assisting Texas in their time of need? Think maybe the dummy will reconsider his New Green Deal bullshit that he wants to foist upon America? Doubtful.

Actually, renewables had little to do with the problems. Most of the outages were due to issues with natural gas production. And, because of deregulation, they are unable to import power from other states when they need it most. it's a messed up situation all the way around..

That's weird... I read that it was because the wind turbines iced up and failed - that's a huge problem up here.

Cry us a river!
Only "Jealous" (that's the nature of liberalism and the foundation thereof......they have an innate need to have what others possess without the hassle of work) limp wristed, tofu eating liberals would give a rat's rear end about the success, power and wealth of others. They pretend not to be interested in wealth and power........yet every post demonstrates the truth.
If the power went out in my area and it was locked in a deep freeze......and I had the ability to jet off with my family to a warmer "safer" area, it would take more than some liberal cancel culture to bring me home until my family was safe. God, Family and then all the rest of you tofu eating jealous want'a bees, always buzzing with envy.
THOU SHALT NOT COVET.
Now do you really want to know what I think?The Chicom Democrats have stolen power again........what else do you covet?

I gotta say I was surprised they hadn't included back up fuel. Sure TX. like AZ has plenty of wind. Sun, and open spaces. No state or country has the battery capacity to store excess, but for moments. Not available yet or maybe ever

And while hair salons were shut down in California, Queen Pelosi was getting her hair done. She claimed the salon set her up, the resulting stir over the matter caused the salon owner to close her doors permanently
And while mask mandates and social distancing mandates were in effect your governor was caught rubbing elbows and not wearing a mask at a dinner with some lobbyists

Anybody wanna become the next ZILLIONAIRE???
Wind, Solar, Thermal, and Nuclear....DO NOT HAVE THE SCIENTIFIC CAPABILITIES to STORE electricity.
BATTERIES of all kinds are LIMITED, Can only be used as a Temporary replacement for A.C. or D.C. current that runs through wires. BUT IT CANNOT BE STORED like water, oil, or natural gas. Which is WHY turbines have to be running all the time in order to GENERATE electricity.
The next ZILLIONAIRE will be that one Human being who comes up with a way to STORE, INDEFINATELY....Electric power. NOT BATTERIES. Actual containers of some sort that can provide INSTANT electric power whenever it's required.
What the NEW GREEN DEAL DEMOCRAT IDIOTS refuse to tell the American people...is the truth. THE TRUTH IS....WIND, SOLAR, THERMAL, NUCLEAR, and even BATTERIES....
(Are you ready for this??????)
ALL REQUIRE FOSSIL FUELS TO BE MADE, MANUFACTURED, TRANSPORTED, INSTALLED, AND TESTED...WITH a non-replaceable Fossil Fuel.
That's our SCIENCE LESSON OF TRUTH TODAY for the AOC's and BIDENS.
But they DON'T CARE.

GOD Bless America...
"Electric Car Charging stations".....Charging off of power grid which is 95% Coal"
"They still get almost all of their energy from the grid. Most superchargers do not even have solar panels, and in practice the idea is totally impractical with current solar technology.A supercharger gives an 85kWh model S a half charge in 20 minutes. That equates to a power output of around 120kW. With 1kW per meter square solar panels, which is typical, that's about 120 square meters of panels. That's nearly ten times the size of a typical parking space (about 16 square meters)
I love Tesla, but the solar canopies on the superchargers are marketing bullshit. Unless he you see a field of solar panels next door, the power is from the grid"
