Beto O’Rourke rips Gov. Abbott over claims blaming Texas blackouts on renewable energy

Former El Paso congressman Beto O'Rourke, who has hinted at a run for Texas' chief executive position, ripped into Gov. Greg Abbott for his appearance on a conservative talk show that claimed wind turbines and solar energy were primarily to blame for power outages across Texas as the electrical grid buckled.

Abbott told commentator Sean Hannity on Fox News Tuesday night that the current situation in Texas "shows how the Green New Deal would be a deadly deal for the United States of America."

On Twitter Wednesday morning, O'Rourke said those false and misleading claims about renewable energy drew his ire.

"You’re the governor of a state where millions don’t have power, where people are literally dying of exposure, and you go on Fox news to talk about... the Green New Deal?" O'Rourke tweeted.

You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

These bullshit claims on both sides are ignoring the actual problem and will lead to repeating once again.

You watch....Nacho man will run for governor.  Don't be surprised.
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.
