I am sorry that your stupidity has made you so angry.

Advocating for integration of TX into the Federal systems, adopting the mandated additional capacity to be part of those systems, and requiring minimal standards for transmission and generation is what will make this better. That is what I am advocating for.

You are blathering about Mexico.

Your weird OMG TEXAS WE ARE THE BEST is just pitiful.

The redundancy that is required is in GENERATION CAPACITY as I have typed a dozen times.

Also minimal standards for maintenance and plant investment like covering and insulating the fucking pipes and values for the water that transfer the heat in the generator.

What is wrong with you?

Texas is not a part of the national network in order to avoid Federal standards.

Texas is closely connected to the Mexican national grid which you used as a reason not to connect to the East or West US Grid.

I made the immediate and obvious point that Mexico and America are different countries. Apparently this confused you. So, there are two (2) countries. One (1) the US has standards that would have completely negated this debacle in TX. Because the adoption of the standards would have prevented it. These standards are for generation and transmission.

So if TX had accepted US standards -- which being a different country are different from Mexican standards -- then this would not be happening.

You are so dense. ERCOT standards would matter -- or rather their EPIC lack of standards which is what I keep addressing -- would NOT be a problem because there would be Federal standards. And those would be US - not Mexican - standards.

You are determined to be stupid.

THE FEDERAL GOVERMENT DOES YOU FUCKING MORON AND AVOIDING THEM IS WHY TEXAS IS IN THIS SHITSHOW.

Do you understand now? Do the big letters help your tiny little mind?

I so do not want to understand how advocating for adopting federal standards is about my killing poor people. You can keep that diagram honey.

You genuinely do not understand the difference between generation and transmission?

Is that the problem?

>you are so dense that you are still thinking that ERCOT regulates the generators. which is, again, not the fucking case.

I have been trying to discuss two topics: generation and transmission.

You are the one who started this discussion talking about Mexico. Now you are on to ... Biden?

And you are too angry, pathetic, hostile, and stupidly vicious to engage in discussion.

And this is why you are alone. You are not a victim. You are a deeply profoundly unpleasant person.

And you are blocked.

So then what happens to our heating system at night, ehhh? It's not like you can, youknow, store energy in packets. Otherwise we'd have things like flashlights, but we don't.

The harder question is whether Trump himself can be connected to that conspiracy.

Since if there's anything we can count on Trump to do, it's to say the quiet parts out loud, do we think the number of people who know about Trumpish communications with the Proud Boys would fit in a high school stadium?

I THINK the Oathkeepers may be more tight-lipped, but you don't have to tie Trump to everyone - you just need to tie him to someone.
