The rise and fall of Big Energy in Texas

[gabosaurus]

Texas governor Greg Abbott is blaming everyone but the main culprit for the energy crisis that put more than four million residents in the dark during several days of below freezing temperatures. This is because, during his tenure in office, Abbott has taken in more that $150 million in donations from the oil and gas industry. The GOP controlled Texas Legislature has done much the same. There is no "green energy plan" in Texas. Wind turbines produce about 10 percent of energy in the winter. Much of blame rests on fossil fuel producers, who don't winterize their production plants because it would cut into the profits. ----------------> https://apnews.com/article/business-...c6a01e051a8079

You're an idiot. You're blaming any and everyone but the failed green crap Obama shoved down everyone's throats. If Texas just kept Texas' energy and took care of Texas we don't need you nor your bought and paid for government.

*The American people know they have a president they can depend on to move the nation forward and not

stick us with more of the big government crap that Barack Obama shoved down our throats and that Hillary


....Clinton would have crammed even harder down the national gullet if she had been elected.

...Why would anyone dislike Barack Obama? Could it be because of

what he’s done in the White House? As you get a refresher on the

national nightmare that has been Barack Obama’s presidency, keep in

mind that the biggest difficulty in compiling it was limiting it to just 50

examples of corruption, dishonesty, and incompetence....
