LMAO. Are you finally figuring out what's wrong with privatizing, eh guys?
Every season has some kind of power problem and they keep trying to blame the renewables as if it wasnt the thing actually saving them from worse outages.
yep. it's hilarious considering how crazy texas benefits from their frankly enormous renewables - they're propping up ercot, not hindering it - and with more battery storage units coming online daily it only gets better... but texas is so tonsils-deep on fossil fuel that they'll just lie and pretend it's a problem.
Another thing: texas still doesn't allow elon to sell cars in texas. elon doesn't want dealers taking a cut, and texas is tonsil deep on auto dealer political contributions they force Tesla to sell online, you can't go into a Tesla showroom and pick out your car. After you order online that car has to be then shipped from out of state! it's fucking bonkers. THEY BUILD THEM THERE LOL

Texas man... so blatantly awful
Good. Fuck that racist douche.
I assume you're talking about Gillis; Schulz is an even bigger asshole than Gillis too
Yes, sorry I should have been clear. I don't know of Schulz at all.
Oh no, no. No. No, these are "comedians, podcasters, and UFC fighters" so while they define an open mind and good works, they actually won't learn a damned thing or do anything about it.
