Hot Temperatures Force Blackouts in Texas
You can sure smell the deregulation in the air can't you! So the temperatures topped a hundred degrees in Texas and mysteriously there were an extra four power plants offline for reasons that no one can explain, so they weren't able to get enough power and they had to start shutting down the grids. How much you want to bet that the people of Texas will be paying massively for the next couple of months of electrical service? The Republican scams are so standardized now, they don't even bother to cover-up their efforts to rob us blind. I mean who is going to step in and stop them? The Republican governor?? The Republican President??? Not likely! They will be too busy counting their campaign contributions to care about the people sweating it out with out any electricity. Well that's what you get when you vote Republican folks. The best representation that can be bought by the highest bidder. But there's no global warming folks, the fact that we keep setting heat records is all part of a natural "cycle" that humanity has just never seen before.

And what exactly does that have to do with a blackout in Texas?

Hmmm...smells like Enron all over again to me. Have y'all seen "The Smartest Guys In the Room"?

I haven't yet, but I want to. I believe it's in our NetFlix queue.
