Texas gets its natural gas straight from its own wells, and as such, there is a higher concentration of water in the gas as it is shipped through the pipes than you would normally find in a gas service line.<br /> That water froze and baffled the service lines, creating a large part of the crisis, as natural gas fired electricity generating plants couldn't get enough gas to produce electricity, and homes couldn't get enough gas to heat themselves or heat water or cook food.<br /> I'm sure that it costs less money to deliver the gas like that, so I hope that the Texans are enjoying the savings.<br /> There was speculation as to whether any gas service lines burst from the frozen moisture in them, and how much of a fire and explosion danger that might be.<br /><br /> -Doug in Sugar Pinedinthebeasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12941071534250216503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-91858036193476276652021-02-20T22:35:13.674-05:002021-02-20T22:35:13.674-05:00"True.

I wonder if the people in Texas have learned that they must force their utility providers to weatherize?"</i><br /><br />Wingnuts' belief in the free market is really nothing short of a religion. They think that supply and demand will magically meet ALL of society's needs, and regulation is virtually never necessary. Government shouldn't have to force businesses to do the right thing; they'll do it on their own because that's what (supposedly) brings in the highest profits. <br /><br />This is wrong. There are numerous situations where greed will actually incentivize businesses to do bad things, which is why regulation is needed.<br /><br />But anyway, the flaws in this system are not limited to utilities "cheaping out" by refusing to buy equipment that works in cold weather. There is also an overall lack of excess capacity in the system. During times of peak demand, there just aren't enough plants to generate enough power to meet that demand, so even if large parts of the infrastructure hadn't frozen up, there would have been rolling blackouts across Texas. (Homes in Texas are poorly insulated, because it seldom gets bitterly cold, so if the temperature drops to 20 degrees, people have to run their furnaces like crazy to stay warm and electricity demand skyrockets.)<br /><br />And on top of that, what about the incentive structure that was supposed to prevent all this (but didn't)? Utilities in Texas are allowed to charge customers higher rates during times of peak demand. Because so many providers have gone off line during this crisis, the ones still operating will be charging INSANE rates. Some customers will soon be receiving -- I am not exaggerating about this -- $10,000+ monthly electric bills!! <br /><br />Why anyone would want to live with such a dysfunctional power grid is anyone's guess. I hope some Texans are realizing that their leaders have been lying to them about all sorts of important things. There has been a lot of deserved mockery over the years of communist economic systems and how they produce bad outcomes. But the libertarian ideal of "pure" capitalism doesn't work in practice, either; it is every bit as much a delusional fantasy as anything Karl Marx ever dreamed up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-73101384444916268732021-02-20T21:59:05.763-05:002021-02-20T21:59:05.763-05:00Republicans talk some good some good shit but they...Republicans talk some good some good shit but they can't govern.

Millions have obviously been suffering in miserable conditions for days, and when the power returns, a sizeable percentage of them will also be rendered homeless from all the damage done to their houses after their pipes froze and then burst. Plumbers are going to be very busy in Texas for months.<br /><br />But authorities are now counting an increasing death toll. Some people have expired due to hypothermia, while others have died from carbon monoxide poisoning from the indoor fires and gasoline-powered generators they were using to try to avoid hypothermia.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.texastribune.org/2021/02/19/texas-power-outage-winter-storm-deaths/" rel="nofollow">Many Texans have died because of the winter storm.

All of this incomprehensible crap about people pulling their own weight. Makers and takers. It all flipped in the 1950s with the advent of desegregation.<br /><br />So now they're all programmed to think that they built their own lives from scratching in the dirt and good old-fashioned American ingenuity.<br /><br />Now, I get it. In Mission Beach, we still have <i>The Plunge</i> a beautiful public pool one block from the shore. I think it used to be filled with saltwater. It was built in the 1920s. California ain't so bad. It's not exactly a libertarian paradise. I guess we can all be happy Eisenhower built the super-highways in the 1950s. Trump's ideas for infrastructure revolved around toll roads.<br /><br />Sixty years later we're still fighting for universal healthcare, the right to a free education, the right to find a good job, a living wage... All these things. And it's the same old people preventing any forward progress.Flying Juniorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02098313953658606206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-18447510759608002012021-02-19T23:35:44.260-05:002021-02-19T23:35:44.260-05:00"Fox News Anchor Bill Hemmer Warns Cancel Cul...<i>"Fox News Anchor Bill Hemmer Warns Cancel Culture Could ‘Come After Bible Characters Next’<br /><br />8:24 PM<br />--------------<br />LOL LOL LOL The sky is falling, the sky is falling!"</i><br /><br />Fortunately, if you cancel Jesus, he comes back three days later.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23428832.post-8777523273424839822021-02-19T23:28:45.931-05:002021-02-19T23:28:45.931-05:00From Blue Girl's Twitter feed:
