Fake news. The second paragraph, had you had chosen to read your evidence, says " on Febrary 14th, ERCOT the independent System Operstor includes 90% of texas, filed a request for emergency order."

So ERCOT ASKED FOR PERMISSION. They had to, or the whole grid would have been taken out, that would cause MONTHS of repairs.

Fake news from The FAKE NEWS KING.

Nope. Read the whole thing. They did have to ask permission, but the Federal Government had to give them permission. They filed it days before the storm and then the government got back to them several days after the storm.
They had the capacity to turn the power on right then, but it would violate EPA guidelines.

Wow, you should get a job at the newspaper. Any editor would love your investigating skills and insights. It's amazing that with all of the "Think Tanks" in the USA, nobody has found this. SHIT Ted Cruz would have used it as as excuse to why he was going to Cancun had it have been true. I dont think you understand the machine that is the government.
So, let's say that the feds got back to them on the same day, there still would have been outages. There still would have been a loss of power generating equipment. The network is still intact because they did shut it down. It has nothing to do with WHEN the network was rolling blackouts, it was a matter of mismanagement of resources. This is a local problem, NOT A FEDERAL ONE. The FEDS did not toe Texas' hands behind it's back. Dont you think the Texas Senator would have been all over social media with that?

Oh, that's right, he was staying at the Ritz Carlton in Cancun because it was really cold and his family wanted to ditch. It's not spring break yet, besides who takes a 10 and 12 YO to Cancun for spring break? Beep beep, look out kids the bis is backing up!

Before you divert to Cuomo, IDGAF about New York!

Get a life, fake news king.

I had no idea Cuomo shit down the power grid in New York.... derr

I dont give a shit about New York. If you are trying to compare a power outage to the mangling of how to deal with a pandemic you are stretching it.....now go and eat your cereal kid, your DS3 will be charged in a few minutes.

You do realize it takes more than a roast to get someone to listen to you, its politics, not a rap battle
