It's called sarcasm, dopey.
nothing's going to happen today. in all likelihood nothing's going to happen tomorrow besides the usual. you're getting the tenor totally wrong, as usual. you've disregarded the topic and trend of posting in favor of ventriloquizing.
like an honest broker does..

sure, Jan
Yes, but need to milk this disaster for another year.
It's understandable you want it to stay buried and semen shield for corrupt GOP government, but we're hardly done paying off last year's disaster surcharges (and won't be for another 20-30 years.) Thanks, Texas lege.
Besides, the bad weather keeps coming back around every year. Maybe next year Texas will get its together.
You still haven't stopped milking Antifa and the black guys who beat you up years later.
Lights stay on good for Abbott
Boil water notice in Austin cause of cold
Lol Adler
The disaster casual outfit worked for Abbott.
Wow he showed he was on top of THIS disaster.
Last year when it mattered lets uhhh....
Switch the subject to the border invasion.
Legless, gutless prick...
And yeah, same problems still exist. But we get told they were ready. With the outfits anyway...
Austin libs boiling their water lol
hole city lol
Progressive dystopian hole lol
CofAustin didn't say it had anything to do with weather, where did you hear about that?
Absolutely weather driven. Neighbor across the street is a 35 year experienced water and sewer consultant who works for COA mentioned cold weather is the culprit
Dripping faucets
Increase flow
City was unprepared
According to the statesman it was because Ulrich treatment plant had a "process error" and they had to shut it down. Didnt say anything about the cold.
It had to do with increased flow which was due to cold
Is my understanding
Three boil water notices in two years
Whoopsie!
https://oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-N...For-Biden.htmlWhile gasoline prices continue to be a troubling political factor for the Biden Administration, the recent inclement weather in refinery country on the U.S. Gulf Coast has caused two major refineries to shut down.
While Gas Buddy indicated that gasoline prices would start to ease somewhat this week, Marathon Petroleum’s 593,000 bpd Galveston Bay refinery is shut down for the foreseeable future, thanks to a citywide power outage during freezing temperatures. Marathon has not given any indication on when the refinery—the second largest in the United States—might restart.
Valero’s (NYSE: VLO) Texas City 225,000 bpd refinery has also shut down. Like Marathon, Valero has not given any indication when the refinery will be back up. Reports also came in on Monday that Valero’s Houston refinery was flaring—a safety event used to manage excess material
Former Texas power chief says Greg Abbott directed him to charge customers max amount during winter outages
Bill Magness, the former CEO of the Electric Reliabilty Council of Texas (ERCOT), testified in court
on Wednesday that millions of Texans received sky-high energy bills during last winter's deep freeze based on the instructions of Gov. Greg Abbott.
under oath that " when
he ordered power prices to stay at the maximum price cap for days on end during last year’s frigid winter storm and blackout,
running up billions of dollars in bills for power companies, he was following the direction" of the Texas governor.

tight grid conditions this weekend
Texas guaranteed windfall profits (from artificially prolonged disaster pricing) for producers and passed the cost to utilities -- the ones that weren't bankrupted, anyway -- onto the ratepayers.
We've been officially warned.
https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/te...owTwt_DFWBrandOfficials with the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) issued a power outage warning on Tuesday in preparation for record-breaking temperatures this weekend.
According to ERCOT, the high energy demand could put some strain on the power grid, but officials said they will re-evaluate conditions tomorrow.
California looking at generation shortfall this year. At least they're not lying about it.
https://news.yahoo.com/california-sa...194133420.html
(Reuters) - California energy officials on Friday issued a sober forecast for the state's electrical grid, saying it lacks sufficient capacity to keep the lights on this summer and beyond if heatwaves, wildfires or other extreme events take their toll.
The update from leaders from three state agencies and the office of Governor Gavin Newsom comes in response to a string of challenges with the ambitious transition away from fossil fuels, including rolling blackouts during a summer heat wave in 2020.

California has among the most aggressive climate change policies in the world, including a goal of producing all of its electricity from carbon-free sources by 2045.
In an online briefing with reporters, the officials forecast a potential shortfall of 1,700 megawatts this year, a number that could go as high as 5,000 MW if the grid is taxed by multiple challenges that reduce available power while sending demand soaring, state officials said during an online briefing with reporters.
Supply gaps along those lines could leave between 1 million and 4 million people without power. Outages will only happen under extreme conditions, officials cautioned, and will depend in part on the success of conservation measures.
In 2025, the state will still have a capacity shortfall of about 1,800 MW, according to officials from the California Energy Commission, Public Utilities Commission, California Independent System Operator and Newsom's office. They also projected annual electricity rate increases of between 4% and 9% between now and 2025.
Two weeks straight of record-breaking temperatures have been forecast statewide.
with energy producers so tight with the Texas GOP, reliability and transmission capacity aren't priorities, but locking in windfall pricing during peak demand appears to be.
remember when Greg Abbott ordered disaster pricing and kept it in effect for weeks after the weather let up and the crisis passed?
Ercot says six power plants went offline Friday too much heat
