Texas Republicans cited “global warming” as the reason why they decided not to winterize the power grid

03/03/2021 / By Ethan Huff

The latest excuse out of Texas as to why much of the state’s power grid failed during the recent cold weather event is that Republican lawmakers were counting on global warming to keep the energy production systems from freezing.

Rather than properly winterize the state’s wind turbines, Republican lawmakers instead relied upon a global warming report that claimed Texas would be 1.6 degrees warmer on average, eliminating the need to invest in their proper maintenance.

Texas Democrat Rep. Michelle Beckley from House District 65 highlighted a vote on Twitter that she says would have required that all Texas power plants be winterized. It was state Republicans that rejected the effort, insisting it was unnecessary.

So the GOP is finally getting smart and weaponizing the AGW Cult against the public in the hopes of revealing to the public how idiotic the AGW Cult really is.

And why should I believe the Rodent who claims it would have voted to winterize the fans if the GOP had introduced the idea?   Any reason it couldn't have pushed for it itself once it was elected?
