Not surprising at all. We had that blackout back in the early 2000s in the NE for almost a week, people went fucking crazy, shit literally almost collapsed lol. Now, Californians cheer em on.
Back in'07 me and a buddy lived near Independence Iowa, in an old country house. That winter an ice storm took out all the power lines and we lost electricity. We made it three days before we each went to our parent's houses, where they had power. It took them almost two weeks to fix the lines. Not sure what we would have done if we didn't have family to stay with.
Electric company-" wait what you want to not pay this month but still have powr?! Hahahahshshhs! Oh by the way we're going to "control outage," you but make sure you keep paying ok."
Yeah, I've been out 26 hours now. If my energy company tries to charge me for the fucking $9,000 per MWh that it hit this morning while I've been out, I'm going to go ballistic. Fuck this.
They cut the power in CA because the state was trying to shift responsibility for the wildfires from the state's poor forest management to the power companies. So power companies understandably decided to to take the liability of being blamed for burning the state down whenever it gets hot, dry, and windy.
The black out we had was on the entire west coast. It we had weather like Texas right now back than it would of killed a bunch of people. But, it was the middle of summer so no airconditioning.
I'm part of a co-op here in north central Florida: Sumter Electric Cooperative, SECO. They are excellent! And they let it be known on a regular basis they they are beholden only to their customers, as well as employees and shareholders, all who have to be customers of SECO.
Really hoping Texans are based enough to take action against this. And I hope that these companies are liable for their failures. I'd hope that when they were awarded contracts they made promises against this happening.
Oh there will be action taken, the issue will be in which direction. The dems and the media are already out in force trying to protect their precious wind turbines.
Exactly. They’re actually blaming—wait for it—natural gas. What?! Fucking idiots. The only issue we’re having with natural,gas is them not having electric companies use the fucktons of natural gas we have in Texas.
Florida is still using dominion systems, even after the fallout of the election. I wonder why things were so close, and why our amendments went the way that they did?
Welcome to Joe Xiden's America

Derecho?
Bullshit.
Taking down the grid periodically will become part of the green new deal.
This is not hyperbole. This is absolute truth.
Like in Cuba

Oh, Cali had a "black out" much worse than 19.

We’re with a co-op. They’re still beholden to ERCOT. Doesn’t matter.
That's not true the local Co-ops have been taken over by a corporate entity called NCG.
Co-ops are not locally owned they are funded by the federal government

You mean the very same ones that froze solid and aren't generating any power?
Who would have guessed?
Dark Winter...
oh in a GOP majority state won by Trump. I didn't notice. C'mon, man!
It's cause (I shit you not) the wind turbines froze solid and can't generate power.
chynese virus = no work/travel = no demand gas = no fracking = no oil = no jobs = fracking closed = no oil = freezing Texas.
You forgot "Frozen Wind Turbines = No Power = Freezing Texas"
Welcome to California
Florida is now the only chunk of America left. Don’t fuck it up.
We're trying. Convince all your New York and New England friends that Florida sucks.
Panhandle maybe.
Florida man 🤣

He needs to get all that shit out of our state.
One thing is for sure: we can always count on u/Anaconda to be a left wing operative.
Dammit anaconda, you’re up and down. De Santis has seemed pretty good handling covid and the swamp bullshit.
Why is he a beta cuck in your opinion?
On the positive side, this event has had no adverse effects on foreign aid to other countries.
3RD WORLD COUNTRY STATUS HAS NOW BEEN CONFIRMED.
