"Y'all want me to really blow your minds? The real reason that Texas doesn't have power right now is that the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT wouldn't authorize ERCOT to generate power at full capacity. We make so much energy that we sell it to other states, and we can make plenty to service the entire state in these conditions (even with the wind turbines incapacitated and frozen gas lines.) But if we run at full capacity, which would have kept everyone's lights and heat on except for legitimate equipment failures, we would emit pollution over the mighty federal overlords' allowance for emissions. They did not give Texas permission to generate power over the emissions levels until it was too late.
So for everyone mad at Texas leadership, Encor, ERCOT... direct your anger toward the right source. Due to federal climate initiatives the U.S. Department of Energy is withholding life-saving resources from us. This is how much your government cares about you -- they would rather you freeze to death than piss off the environmental lobbyists. This is an intentional crisis brought to you by John Kerry and his minions."
