Well, they didn’t live inside of heavily insulated brick boxes designed for central air for one thing.

Thanks for all your kind concerns, the power just returned. Though, I think the Shiner still needs a bit of attention.

Joe is a democRAT. It's always the democRATs fault. You gotta hang nail, it's the democRATs. Your best girlfriend has a smelly pooper, It's a democRATs fault. The national park behind your house is on fire and your house is in down wind; yep you guessed it, it's a democRATs fault. No air conditioning on a 106 degree day, oh yea you know it. Them pesky democRATs. They attack your federal court house and who's responsible ? Right on brother, it's the democRATs.

Never ever not kick a democRAT when he is down. Kick them a couple of extra times because they have fallen just like Joe and his team have done to America. Kick'em again just because you know why ? They be democRATs. Because you know they will do it to you just like what Joe and the democRAT Congress has done to conservatives for 18 months now.

Need I go on ??

There's a good portion of far East Texas, and the Panhandle that are not on the ERCOT grid. Couple of far West Texas counties too.

Hey, if the leftists can blame Trump for everything under the sun both before and after his Presidency, it should be fair for JoeBob to blame Biden for something while he inhabits the White House. Even if he's there illegally.

It happened to us two weeks ago. Temperature 103 and power was out for 16 hours. Ever since they put our power on the grid 3 years ago we have had more outages year around. Use to only be during the winter, but who knows when the hell now. We are in the process of getting a home generator that runs off of natural gas.

Not enough power plants in operation. Keep taking more offline without replacing them. Heavy usage days mean more blackouts. That’s your Biden green agenda in operation.

I doubt it. Just a different grid.

I think they fared better in the Deep Freeze where the Ercot grid failed... big time.

According to some people in the world we didn’t have the greenhouse effect like we do now. Apparently it stayed in the 70’s all of the time everyday of the year!

Wow! That must suck big time. Consider spending time in your car with the AC running. But then you will have to pay Biden gas prices for that.

His specific outage may or may not be Bidens fault, but his administrations policies are virtually prohibiting exploration, development, investment of fossil fuels and new power generation plants…new refineries? Pipelines? Pffft…

Years ago we were out of power for about 4 days (hurricane hit Houston). I went to work, complained to a coworker about having no power, and asked him how long he had been without power. He said “10 seconds”. He had a backup generator. I ordered one right after that.
