1. Austinite hippy soy boys don’t shower…

3. I guess the water they steal from San Antonio isn't enough for the sanctuary..

4. Love you

5. Climate change? Come on man!

6. Wow, I live in Austin and had 6 days no water. If this is the third time the mayor has been through this, why did he not have a plan in place? 2 or 3 days after Houston and Dallas had been distributing water and food to their residents, Austin finally started handing out just water, at times showing up 2 hours late to distribution sites.

   We melted snow to drink and flush toilets. Tens of thousands were without any water and the city failed to coordinate water distribution sites until we had been 5 days or more without water. He kept residents in the dark about the reason for no water and said on TV that the city had run out of water because residents had been dripping their pipes. Just wow.

7. Maybe if Texas spent less time hating things might get better. Yeah right. Who am I kidding.🖕

8. In an emergency situation like Texas, the HOT WATER HEATER is a source of SAFE clean drinking WATER! The valve is at the bottom and water can be bled off as needed. The water will flow of by gravity. NO POWER IS NEEDED. Most people don't realize this. Amazed that officials have not been telling people.

9. Climate change, hahahah 🤣😅🤣🤣! It’s HAARP , direct energy (weather ) weapon or DEW ! Biden, Trump….” Dark Winter “

10. Texas is FULL of STUPID people !.
    They ALL trust republicans to represent them.
    republicans are a group of CORRUPTED, THIEF'S, and LIARS.

14. The water is contaminated many people have fallen sick and can't go hospital in fear of the virus and Ebola that is spreading

15. The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) controls about 90% of the state’s electricity. The Texas power grid is independent from the rest of the country’s federal power grid regulation. Ironically, the parts of Texas that is connected to the nation electric grid stayed running due to federal regulation to maintain function during inclement weather. ERCOT deregulated these requirements. The “Green Power” is only used to supply only about 10% of the baseline electrical power in Texas because you can‘t increase the wind or sunshine to get additional power. The majority of power is from the Texas thermal power plants (I.e.; Natural gas, coal fired and nuclear). The thermal power plants are used for peak loads above the baseline loads because you can increase output or bring online power generators. The Texas ERCOT plants were not regulated to be functional during inclement weather, so the Natural gas line pipes were frozen and the coal plants were affected by the cold weather. The ERCOT plants are only paid when they produce electricity so to save cost they chose not to weatherize, whereas the federal power grid power plants must winterize and are paid a minimum sum to be on standby.

    The small areas in Texas that are connected to the national power grid are isolated from the ERCOT power grid. As long as Texas keeps their ERCOT power grid isolated from the rest of the country, the federal government has no regulatory control over the Texas ERCOT power grid. The federal government can only control the interstate commerce regulation between states.

    Trump’s former head of the Department of Energy was Rick Perry, the former Governor of Texas, in an interview he said that Texans would chose blackouts rather then have the Feds regulate the Texas power grid. I guess the Texas motto is “Give me no Regulation or give me Death“. Rick was the same guy on Dancing with the Stars (he lost).

16. Austin is a little Portland
    Full of libtrash.
    Wind turbines froze

17. Sorry Texas.. #biden killed 50+/- Texans by NOT allowing the TX power companies INCREASE their Power after asking a week Prior. #biden DOE 202 02.14.0211 Executive Order told TX to "use" outside Low Emissions First. The "green sources" that didn't work.  More proof? Just look at next months utility bill..

18. I didn't realize pipes freezing was such a massive problem to overcome stay safe goodluck

19. Steve adler is trash along with this garbage news

20. Chip and Joanne, how are things in Waco?

21. So glad climate change doesn't exist or there might be a scientific explanation for all of this…

22. Just to be clear. In the midst of a catastrophic disaster, the Texas Senator flees to Mexico. Wow. That dude has balls!

23. Follow the leader: fled to Mexico
    Problem solved

24. What about getting water from your hot water tank?

25. tRumper governor can't help his people.

    Self-teabagging is the problem.
