The cult literally HATES who they are.... this is messed up:

 

 

 

Of course when you hear the WHOLE story it is different.

 

Part of the proposed draft standards for the curriculum directed students to 'compare journeys to America, including voluntary Irish immigration and involuntary relocation of African people during colonial times,' the Texas Tribune reported 

 

It was an invitation to the children to compare things, that is, to think for themselves.

 

It wasn't "changing the word slavery to involuntary relocation everywhere, but just that particular sentence in that lesson.

But hey!  let's make up another fake story to fit our liberal bias.

 

Why wouldn't you imagine that the children could grasp how much worse it is to be forced into slavery? 

 

What is wrong with teaching the tragic story of the Irish?

 

History isn't a matter of deciding which people suffered the most, then only telling their story and forbidding all comparisons, but what school boards do never has much to do with ensuring that history is taught in a soundly professional way. 

 

 

 

.

 

 

 

You may not agree that it is the best lesson for second graders, but it is easy to see how the Left (again) misrepresented the lesson plan to make it  appear racist.

@B-Man - Hey Bonnie, did you forget about posting something "UNLINKED" - lolz

 

Where are your sources?

So, no source?  You're going to pretend to be a moderator here (as opposed ATOP) and not live up to your rules?

Texas is so amazing that they cannot provide power when the weather is too hot or too cold. 
 

But do not fear! The corporations will be able to price gouge their way to profits regardless of what happens to the average Texan. 

Unreal. Energy is what they do. Corruption will do that, make good things bad

A simple way to build redundancy into the grid would be to connect it to either the Western or Eastern Interconnect grids (or both?):

But that would require meeting federal standards and regulations, preventing ERCOT from price gouging your average Texan...

Green energy ?  What they aren't saying above.

 

Texas Tells Consumers to Conserve Electricity as Wind Energy Falls Short

by Joel B. Pollak

 

Texas-Wind-Turbines-Getty-640x480.jpg

 

The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) has warned power consumers in Texas to conserve energy on Monday afternoon and evening because there will not be enough wind power to operate the power grid reliably in peak demand.

 

Though Texas is known for its role in the oil industry, it is also the nation’s number-one producer of wind energy. During a cold snap in the winter of 2021, however, wind turbines froze and many Texans found themselves without electricity.

 

Now that scenario is likely to repeat itself, albeit due to high temperatures that are accompanied by calm conditions.

 

ERCOT said in a statement:

 

With extreme hot weather driving record power demand across Texas, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) is issuing a Conservation Appeal, asking Texans and Texas businesses to voluntarily conserve electricity, Monday, July 11 between 2-8 p.m. ERCOT also issued a Watch for a projected reserve capacity shortage from 2-8 p.m. At this time, no system-wide outages are expected.

Factors driving the need for this important action by customers:

 

Record high electric demand. The heat wave that has settled on Texas and much of the central United States is driving increased electric use. Other grid operators are operating under similar conservative operations programs as ERCOT due to the heatwave.

 

Low wind. While solar power is generally reaching near full generation capacity, wind generation is currently generating significantly less than what it historically generated in this time period. Current projections show wind generation coming in less than 10 percent of its capacity.

 

The failure of wind power during peak demand comes as President Joe Biden and other leaders are pressing the nation to give up on fossil fuels in favor of “renewable” sources like wind and solar — and often without mentioning nuclear power.

So what you're saying is that ERCOT didn't sufficiently diversify it's power sources to prevent outages?

 

Also, turbines freezing wasn't the driver of the outage in the 2021 cold snap. Plus, wind turbines can be weatherized to prevent them from freezing. Texas just didn't do that.

What? Not going to blame AOC for this? LOL!!!

Texas has its own grid specifically so that it evades federal regulations. 

 

Cruz knows he's lying but, like many GOP politicians, he thinks people who support him are too dumb to realize he's playing them.

 

I saw this tweet the other day from a candidate for Lt. Gov that does a good explainer of what is going on with the Texas grid:

The video is incredibly difficult to watch, but I do recommend reading the article.

 

Two screenshots that tell you all you need to know:
