The Texas Blackout | Fault Lines 

Considering there was not enough natural gas to meet demand, stocking up on blankets does little when your indoor temperature is -2, but thank you for your wonderful comment.

​@ashleyb2389 respectfully I beg to differ. When the power went out here in Hill country Texas, I used my woodstove, propane heaters, and backup generators. Its hard to use a woodstove without wood, and lots of it. Thankfully I had two cords. Thats an insane amount of firewood for Texas but my neighbors were thankful because I was glad to share. Being a "prepper" I had literally anything and everything I needed. Our house was literally 81 degrees inside and I still went to work everyday at the hospital. The answer to the question of how many people are gonna learn from that freeze, is very little. I'm so saddened to say that and by the people that lost their loved ones to that storm; but when our lives depend on it, we can't rely on the government. We all have to take a bit of responsibility for ourselves, especially if we have loved ones.

Buying cold weather sleeping bag helps prevent hypothermia.

@@toxqui11 That’s awful, I know it’s been hellish cold here in the UK, I’ve never know it to be this bad before all at a bad time when the cost of heating has gone through the roof…

Exactly most these idiots think socialism is a better because of a freak record storm.

@@Superb_Legend well, capitalism failed in this instance, and don't be surprised if more "freak" storms come through. Also, what happens when temperatures reach record highs and the grid becomes stressed to the point like it was during the winter?

@@getlostyougoofball I think you shouldn't hinge a whole system off a 2 years long virus side effect and a record snow storm in texas a place where most Texans say it never snows

@@Superb_Legend I think she should hinge on the "freak" storm that devastated Texas. Given that vlimate change is real and it was just the beginning of worse disasters to come. Our use of fossil fuels has greatly affected our climate and we are now paying the price. I feel you have good intentions in your heart but Don look with one eye closed and say you see the whole picture. Our systems by and large are a failure of our efforts to mitigate the cisis' we now face. Again I believe your hearts in the right place but cast doubt where it should be cast.

@@theelysian1172 I believe the severity of climate change is to scare ppl like they've done with this virus and the 80 years of failed predictions of these climate specialist

think of it this way, I'm a Texan as well, I went through it right along with all other Texans, our leaders DO NOT CARE, as long as they can stand to profit, that is all they care about, I truly believe that another winter storm is going to hit us and we will NOT be prepared for it.

Huh? We adopting Chinese social legislative measures now?

I know without a doubt, that we will have another big winter, hard freeze, it's only a matter of time. Then we will be back to square one again.

The money that should have been spent on weatherization went into dirty pockets instead.

Climatologist never said its gonna be just hot and arid. Rather extremes will be more extreme. More rain. More snow. More heat in summer. Just more of Everything. When all water melts down in summer from ice caps eventually, making more clouds and rains in winter, in few years, there will be perpetual drought. Soils are getting low moisture every year

@Bushra M Duti For example, in 2011, the climatogists told the Texas government that it would be hot and dry from now on and even drought till 2020. The government scrapped their plan to require power plants to winterize because of it. Texas went on to have the wettest years on record, and then they had the third worst winter storm on record that knocked out the power grid, killing over 100 people in 2021. All things are not getting more extreme. The IPCC says their is no trend in North Atlantic hurricanes.

@@jordapen this is a bomb cyclone. Not hurricane. Also you can read about extremes going more extremes. There are studies about it

Muhammad was a pedophile

Too late people are gong build home that are more energy independent.

It's to collapse the infrastructure and make the population broke. We are headed for 3ed world status at breaknecking speed.

Yeah, the argument against global warming is strong because of cold conditions in one part of the world. Jesus H Christ. 🤦🤦

you cannot even spell right . I wander why hmmm oh i know because its easier to control you if your half starved and stupid right !

Don't worry Patrick, the Government and the Utilities presidents don't realize they creating demand destruction. Your going see demand start to go down even in peak months in the coming years.
