Not Biden ... but this place will do

However, I do not know how the owners of forums (not only of this one) will be happy with this presidency: no longer the huge number of clicks and posts at the POTUS thread...
Can they survive the next 4 years? (Or will it not take so long?)

So much winning for Biden

Texas disaster reminds Americans that Biden's green energy initiative is a mindless PR stunt - Washington Times

Oh god. So you actually are here with some bullshit propaganda attempting to claim it was renewable energy that caused the disaster in Texas. You really are dense.

Renewables account for less than 5% of total output in Texas, so there is no way they had anything to do with the blackout. Everyone who is not a brainwashed moron knows that the natural gas plants went offline due to the cold. That is what cause the outage.

It has been pointed out that the Washington Times is a propaganda rag owned by the fucking moonies.

It’s true that the weather driven failure of TX’s renewable sector didn’t cause or have anything to do with TX’s grid problems.

It’s also true that Biden’s green initiatives would have made the problems worse, not better, and that renewables are not a viable solution.

That's opinion, not truth.

that would be why renewable power is so cheap - they are selling off deprecated electrons

If were talking about solar, wind, and batteries in freezing temps, that’s an undeniable fact. The tech isn’t there and will never be.

Talking about fission or fusion, then yeah it’s totally viable, but this isn’t usually included in green programs.

Fusion is an AWESOME concept.

So is this ...

I don't think taking Trump's failed slogan and applying it to Biden just over a month into his term is the sick burn that you imagine it to be.

Why can't Trumptards distinguish between fact and opinion.

Fusion is a fantastic concept, and has huge space travel implications as well as global energy. Theres also different types of fission reactors being developed and the Thorium/molten salt reactor is already being trialed in China, While everyone else sleeps on wind and solar.

Have you seen this? Most western nations are a part of it, and China, again, is in on it:

Perfect example of renewables that take it all into account. Geography, weather, man-made structures, and longevity.

Thats a supplemental power station. They also use diesel and gas, and its cost effective because of the expense of getting fuel and associated lubricants to....Antartica, and the fact that diesel doesn't keep for long periods, and they go long periods in complete isolation. There are reasons that it makes sense there, and its not about "going green". Its money, logistics, and geography.

LULZ.

The failure in Texas was due to decades of GOP controlled deregulation, cost-cutting and climate denial. That's it. They privatize the price-gouging profits they are making now and call to socialize the losses with federal money and they get away with it because of lemmings like you being propagandized into blaming things like the Green New Deal which isn't even a factor--it's like blaming a movie that hasn't even been released for ruining your day.

And note how Biden immediately assisted a state that didn't even vote for him.

Trump instructed Pence to not even call Dem Governors because he's a petty fuckhead. Ted Cruz voted against Sandy relief for NY, NY’s congresswoman AOC has raised over $4 million and counting for organizations in Texas and Beto O'Rourke who isn't even an elected official mobilized aid efforts while Cruz was shamed into coming home early from holiday.

The two parties are not the same.

Ya he does a lot of that. Carries around his own "facts".

Maybe you can explain to me why the wind turbines in the Dakotas don't seem to freeze in the winter.

What happened to Texas' power grid?


Texas’s power grid was inundated with a record demand Sunday night as temperatures dropped and consumers turned to their thermostats for relief.

Snow and freezing temperatures are not totally uncommon in many parts of Texas and certainly not in the western half of the state. But single-digit temperatures in other parts of the state are.

Combine that with at least half a foot of snow in the capital as well as other parts of Texas, and this week’s winter storm was truly unusual.

Meanwhile, power suppliers to the state’s grid were knocked offline as the weather wreaked havoc on their operating systems. Freezing temperatures battered gas lines and coal suppliers, which were the bulk of the suppliers who went offline.

Wind turbines collected ice and had to be shut down.


With fewer power sources feeding the grid, supply could not keep up with the surge in demand, so the operator of the state’s electric grid, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, or ERCOT, instructed electricity distributors across its network to begin rotating power outages to its customers, except in places feeding power to critical facilities, such as hospitals, fire stations and water treatment plants.

Those rolling outages were supposed to last about 10 to 45 minutes each. But by Tuesday afternoon, millions were still without power in heat in Texas with no end in sight to the blackouts.

“Everything happened at once, but there was no single point failure,” said Michael Webber, the deputy director of the University of Texas at Austin’s Energy Institute.

“The simplest explanation is that supply and demand got out of balance. The demand is quite high because of heating, and the supply is constrained by failures in the system and because of the weather.”


Weather-related power outages happen in other places, and that isn’t unusual.

What's different in Texas is “how widespread this is and also that it's happening in the energy capital of the world,” Webber said.
Texas is the third largest gas producer in the world after Russia and the United States.

“For a state so abundant in energy, to have energy shortages seems more striking than for a state that depends on others to run out of energy,” Webber said.

Texas is an Energy Producer. Why Are Millions Without Power?

Because Texas chose not to winterize them like they do almost everyplace else.

Isn't he the POTUS? of the whole US? How generous from him...

*sigh*

Obviously a contrast with the previous incumbent is being implied.

Maybe Coles notes should be supplied to you with every post.

Coles Notes ...

are student guides to literature, published in Canada.
The Coles bookstore first published Coles Notes in 1948.
The first title published was on the French novella Colomba by Prosper Mérimée.

With sunset remarks and a national moment of silence, President Joe Biden on Monday confronted head-on the country’s once-unimaginable loss — half a million Americans in the COVID-19 pandemic — as he tried to strike a balance between mourning and hope.

Addressing the “grim, heartbreaking milestone” directly and publicly, Biden stepped to a lectern in the White House Cross Hall, unhooked his face mask and delivered an emotion-filled eulogy for more than 500,000 Americans he said he felt he knew.

“We often hear people described as ordinary Americans. There’s no such thing,” he said Monday evening. “There’s nothing ordinary about them. The people we lost were extraordinary.”

“Just like that,” he added, “so many of them took their last breath alone.”
