I swear to fucking all the gods if Texas has the same bullshit happen as before without preparing, and then passes the buck of to Minnesota again.....Sever the power from them outright. Every other state need to cut all utility lines to them. Little known fact that most don't know that the cost of that outage a few years ago got passed on to Minnesota tax payers. LONE star state my ass. More like the Asshole State

Minnesota gasps at the financial damage it faces from the Texas freeze

In Minnesota, where the temperature dropped below minus-20 in February and scarcely a single customer lost gas or electricity, state officials are struggling to come up with an equitable solution to a debacle that was made in Texas. One Texas-based utility is pushing hard for relief.

The Washington Post
@KellicTiger Texas isn’t tied into the National power grid. There is no “cutting lines” to the state. And that’s the problem. If the idiots in charge would connect Texas to the rest of the national grid and would have proper regulations, it could play nice. Beto O’Rourke was planning on doing that. But we get stuck with Abbott because a tree didn’t do its job.
