Its not climate change. Its just weather. An extreme weather event, but not unheard of for Texas- like the record lows in TX 1930s-1980s that Gil cited. More like a once every several decade event.∞∞∞ wrote: ↑Wed Feb 17, 2021 5:40 amhttps://www.energy.gov/sites/prod/files ... _FINAL.pdfGil Dobie wrote: ↑Wed Feb 17, 2021 5:28 am
I worked for a power company for a few years. They had no problems with maintaining their nuclear or coal power plants. The NRC is on your ass about everything. A paper in the wrong folder was a huge fine. I work for the VP in charge of construction and procurement. The only issue I could see is the government trying to convert to green energy too soon. Taking money away from the best source of power at the time.
Aging infrastructure and more extreme weather events due to climate change.
The US has a genuine infrastructure issue - energy and otherwise - that everyone is afraid of tackling. And they're afraid because it requires an increase in taxes, so we continue to kick the can down the road while maintenance requirements increase every year.
We have a lack of long-term vision in the US nowadays. Things don't last forever and Americans seem to be in denial that they'll need to pay for upgraded infrastructure. It's just going to get worse until politicians and citizens get real with the situation.
Denying the effects of climate change and not properly preparing for it is piling on at this point.
The elites and their allies in govt want to use the guise of "climate change' to gain power, control, and $$ at the expense of the masses, through things like the cockamamie New Green Deal..
