Abbott is pushing a lie to protect incompetence. There is no Federal oversight of the Texas Grid, ergo fewer regulations (sound familiar) - so point one: state legislature needs reform. 2/

2. Point 2: there were clear signs the grid would get overloaded under extreme cold conditions. Why? Due to a vacuum of regulations mandating winterization of turbines and power generators. This from sources, in Texas!
3. Point 3: Of the power shortfall that hit Texas, over 80% was due to problems at coal and gas fired plants. Power generators were just not winterized. Decisions to do so have been ignored since the 1990s.
4. Point 4: these are winterized wind turbines in Denmark. The ocean is frozen. The turbines are generating. https://t.co/LrdYZuFac1
5. #Texas| the main issue is: catastrophic governance at the State level (no Federal oversight of the Texas grid) failing to allocate funding to winterise the Natural Gas, Coal and Wind Turbine elements that contribute to the grid. (~ 80/20 mix).

6. #Texas| all the info you need to know on the Texas power outage here. The grid is run by ERCOT (Electric Reliability Council of Texas). 7/

7. #Texas| Wind in Texas is generally less during winter, ergo grid operators would not have planned for getting 30GW from wind generation (30GW is equivalent to every wind turbine operating in Texas). An ERCOT chart indicates wind is producing significantly more than forecast.
8. #Texas| there’s also some goodness and humanity emanating from Texas that we need to share.

Be careful about this photograph too. NOT from Texas. IT IS a Helicopter de-icing on a wind farm in the winter of 2013-2014, in the Uljabuouda mountains in Arjeplog, Sweden.

How does a government put a legislation on 'hold'? Is there any constitutional mechanism for the executive to 'pause' a validly passed legislation? Genuine Koshan.


So a committee of 'wise men/women' selected by the SC will stand in judgement over the law passed by


Here is the thing - a law can be stayed based on usual methods, it can be held unconstitutional based on violation of the Constitution. There is no shortcut to this based on the say so of even a large number of people, merely because they are loud.


Tomorrow can all the income tax payers also gather up at whichever maidan and ask for repealing the income tax law? It hurts us and we can protest quite loudly.

How can a law be stayed or over-turned based on the nuisance value of the protestors? It is anarchy to allow that.
