It really is unprecedented in modern time's. Never had got that cold in Texas as far as records go.

It's a record since the 80s. I guess the 80s don't count as modern times. There sure were a lot of people talking about how much they love the 80s yesterday. They must be super old to have lived before modern times.

Texas power companies are private not government.
Click to expand...

Not to get deep in the weeds or call anybody out - all power companies are regulated by each state and federal authority. Profitability is also limited due to their "monopoly", usually by a state public service commission or other entity. So they typically do not have sufficient capital to do everything they could do to prevent bad situations like what is happening in Texas. Add in ice storms are the absolute worst. If you are so inclined, pray for everybody who has been impacted as well as the crews being brought in from all over the country to restore power.

So government should be prepared, but individuals shouldn't? Both can happen.

Texas power companies aren't government. They are for profit private companies that we pay be reliable. I just keep seeing this misconception about Texas power being provided by government. It's not. It's different than most states.

Thus, when you pay for a service, you have every right to expect such service, with some consideration for short delay because of unexpected events. The level of unpreparedness is nothing more than greed. People have or will die because of it.

Exactly. I get why people don't really know because it's different than most of the country. But it's frustrating getting those responses to legit complaints.

You have to watch this whole interview, it's in there somewhere. I don't care what people think about him, he is smart AF and wants to help planet Earth. And maybe make a trillion or 2 in the process, for the good tho,. Naw really is a good watch. Was Aired 3 days ago. So not old.

He’s onto something with the sodium cooled reactor but IF all this were to get started and everyone pitched in, what would happen to all the people who lose their jobs from cutting all these things out? Weighing the pros and cons of this are just as extremely important as anything. Great interview! Dilly Dilly 🍻

What in the sam hell does this even mean? I just never cared about the same things other people do so much. I remember once when I was very young something happened to make. Ahuge crowd look in one direction. I immediately thought, what's at our back, my mother was very inquisitive about why I was the only one not looking.

I think that jp connection was part of the issue. If I were the Tennessee Athletic Department, that person would receive a lifetime ban. I would include him in the report to the NCAA as publicly as possible if it could be proven. Work on an SEC ban for him or at least have the NCAA monitor his known association with coaches...

I still think that the transfer portal playees may indicate the McDonalds bag recipients in some cases. Also the I want out of my NLI players. The OK transfer list is especially suspicious. All this is supposition without a shred of evidence...🤔

Texas is different. It is unregulated. Some of the companies are non-profit, but most of them make plenty of profits to cover this. Texas chose to stay off the national grid and have our own private unregulated grid. Texas loves to brag about how much better it is, and how we're the energy capital. Well, you have to invest in providing the best and most reliable product if yer gonna make that claim.

Hope that the Mar's rover Perseverance has a good landing today in that crater. They said it used to be a lake and is the best place to find evidence of microbial lifeforms. I expect fascinating discoverys if they get the landing down right.

I believe they have landed there previously. The Curiosity rover from 2012 is still up there doing it’s thing.
