Yes! Eliminate energy subsidies. This isn’t a problem of wind and solar, this is a problem of a protectionist government kowtowing to the demands of the energy industry. Adjacent states that aren’t singularly focused on enriching energy tycoons are having not near the Problems Texas is.

As America-First patriots we should all support any economically feasible energy generation projects that will contribute to American prosperity, not suck up to oil and gas companies looking to make a quick buck.

As a staunchly pro-labor conservative, I can tell you this wouldn’t have happened if our energy and housing infrastructure had been built by hard working Americans who knew that they would earn an honest wage for an honest days work. Instead we decided to pander to a few Texas Hundred+ millionaires who just wanted to make money off of selling us a necessity.

Everyone on reddit is blaming Abbott and Cruz, as if they had power over this. Morons.

Well... I know this isn’t a popular opinion here, but Cruz is a mealy-mouthed, feckless dick who certainly bears blame for many things.

but not this... the fuck does a federal senator have to do with state-level energy policy?

Duno, but him flying to a resort in Mexico with his family today ain’t a good look. Still needs to be an all hands on deck moment....
