This isn't particularly surprising. Biden represents a corrupt house. What did he do with Ukraine? Extortion. What is he doing here? Extortion. People have voted for a corrupt party that can extort with impunity.

People on the left will say they like Biden because "he gets things done". This is the cheater's paradox. People favour the cheater as they appear more successful but are blind to the cost of victory. Sooner or later they're going to find themselves hit. This is only going to get worse and worse.

Would it surprise you that this tweet isn’t true and that actually the Biden administration did grant the waiver request?

Start at the second full paragraph on page two. Biden didn’t stop them from generating more electricity and waived the pollution control standards.

Can you define the term waive to me?

Have you read the rest of the paper?

Can you say exactly what is waived?

Have you read the date?

What? Sure I’ll do these weird exercises for you. When answered sufficiently will you acknowledge that you posted fake news?

  1. “Waive”, in this instance, is to grant a reprieve (give a waiver) from certain pollution reduction measures as requested by Governor Abbot for the duration of the emergency.

  2. Yes and I linked it because I like to check primary sources and not listen to nobodies on twitter. It’s four pages long and was attached to the tweet.

  3. Sure. ERCOT requested a waiver to emit more of certain pollutants as the deemed necessary in order to provide the public with uninterrupted power. Specifically; “ ERCOT anticipates that this Order may result in exceedance of emissions of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide, mercury, and carbon monoxide emissions, as well as wastewater release limits.”

  4. It was issued on Valentine’s Day at 8:51pm and was scheduled to remain in effect until 11:59pm on 2-19.

But why take my word for it? Read it yourself https://www.energy.gov/sites/prod/files/2021/02/f82/DOE%20202%28c%29%20Emergency%20Order%20-%20ERCOT%2002.14.2021.pdf
