Kinda disappointed in this sticky, not gonna lie. I'm against Chinese meddling as much as the next guy, but this is 100% Texas' problem. They have their own grid for Christ's sake. There is no 'US grid'. There's three across the country, East grid, West grid, and Texas grid.
Biden rescinded Trump's EO banning Chinese electrical equipment from the US power grid. It doesn't specify whether that ever applied to the Texas grid. It also means that for this to have had any effect, utilities in Texas would have had to procure things like power transformers, pole-top transformers, and myriad other things from China well in advance of the Texas crisis for that to have been the cause. Am I supposed to believe that China shot a Freeze Ray at Texas' windmills, or that their not really frozen, but that China just turned them off?
Biden revoking Trump's EO is seriously bad news, but is not connected in any way to what Texas is going through right now. Gateway Pundit is just tying this to Texas to make it seem timely to talk about it. Typical BS from Gateway Pundit.
Totally agree.
As if China could roll in and change everything on our power grid in 15 days.
Oh--and knew the polar vortex would be so crippling.
This should not be stickied.
