Pass HB 1533! Energy efficient homes fare better in a crisis. Better insulation, weatherstripping & windows help keep heat in during freezes & keep homes cooler in heat waves. #txlege should pass people first solutions. #TexasBlackout Geanie Morrison Texas Sierra Club

I’m prepared for the possibility of another #TEXASBLACKOUT

Texas Tribune When an old Ted Cruz tweet comes back to haunt him at the worst possible time.

This guy literally has zero shame. 🧐🧐🧐

This deep, deep dive into the 2021 #TexasBlackout is really well done and really infuriating. #txlege Texas Monthly

Last year, the Texas grid came within a couple minutes of collapsing & leaving the state without power for weeks.

What I learned about what happened - and if it could happen again. #TexasBlackout

Abbott’s a terrible liar & an even worse governor. Texans all over the state are suffering on his watch.

Now interactive: Edgar Virgüez, Ph.D. has produced a great #TexasBlackout generator outage map you can explore below.

I'm excited to introduce EGOVA: ERCOT's Generator Outage Visualization App. I created a web-version app to facilitate the visualization of the events surrounding ERCOT's energy crisis. Particularly the spatial extent and its connection with temporal dimensions.

Senator Ted Cruz TheBlaze Not only did you leave Texas during the #TexasFreeze #TexasBlackout
You also went along with the #BigLie & incited insurrection

Texas Gov. Abbott 'misled,' 'livid' about cops' delayed response to school shooting trib.al/DWYg1WV

My friend made this graphic to put #TexasBlackout in context. The metric only captures outage depth, not duration. ERCOT reported 70.5 hours with load shedding in 2021 (potentially >1,000,000 MWh of load shedding) & 7.5 hours in 2011 (approx 19,000 MWh of load shedding) #txenergy

This is truly evil as there are still Texans without working water and power as a result of the #TexasBlackout .

Every time I volunteer at a food drive, there are long lines of people waiting for basic staples like rice, cereal and beans. This is gross incompetence and neglect.

So NOW can we talk about passing a $3trillion dollar infrastructure bill #HurricaneIda #TexasBlackout

Texas lawmakers must mandate changes to the energy infrastructure to improve resiliency in response to the 2021 Texas Winter Storm Freeze. These investments should be paid for by the energy #fossilfuel companies, NOT with the #taxpayer dollar$. ✊

Someone check Ted Cruz 's thermostat. Make sure his 'daughters' didn't bump it down below 78. ERCOT #TexasPowerGrid #TexasDeservesBetter #TexasBlackout #AbbottFailedTexas #texaselectricity #texasheat

“Power Companies Get Exactly What They Want”: How Texas Repeatedly Failed to Protect Its Power Grid Against Extreme Weather

Texas Division of Emergency Management Lol “insulate your home” and “get to know your neighbors” seem like things we shoulda done months ago if we wanted to prep for this freeze…perhaps ERCOT could just, I don’t know, DO THEIR JOBS AND FIX THE GRID?!? #TexasBlackout

#ERCOT keeps telling #texans to save energy, the audacity to tell them to turn off the AC when the heat is over 100F outside, but they can’t tell the electricity providers to upgrade the grid as they promised. As usually in Texas the rich gets away with murder #TexasBlackout

Greg Abbott Maybe focus on making sure Texas energy is functional? #texasblackout

500,000 Texans are currently without power. Energy still isn't on the Special Session agenda. We need action from our leadership. #ERCOT #TexasBlackOut #Nicholas khou.com/article/news/l…

We need new elected officials who will modernize our grid for the future. #texasenergy #ercot #texasblackout #longhotsummer #mikecollier #lukewarford #fixthedamngrid #txlege

$250 M will be allocated as a down payment to build border wall, Abbott says. House Speaker and chief budget writer signing letter as are Lt Gov Dan Patrick and Senate’s chief budget writer #txlege

If #txlege wants to use public $$ to fix private power plants, then do same for people who suffered the most during the #TexasBlackout . HB 1533 creates an #energy efficiency loan program w/ funds already collected for pollution reduction programs Rep. Vikki Goodwin Texas Sierra Club
