The winter storm that hit Texas and other parts of southern U.S. has left millions without power.
Temperatures are expected to rise by the end of the week, but dozens of warming centres have opened in Texas in the meantime.

Don’t mess with Texas! They can’t handle it.
Thanks to the type of power supply you want.
@BROCKATRON you mean coal and natural gas? Because those are the main sources of power generation in Texas.
Who invited the Commie f4990t?
BIDEN 2020 Nice try Ivan.
Russian snowballs from low earth orbit?
Lol just a conspiracy theory they said.
This is America… so called the most developed country in world loll
To be clear: outages are in parts of the state which are predominantly powered by natural gas. This from a state meteorologist.
No, they are predominantly powered by alternative sources like wind turbines. Turbines that iced up during the storm and have to be deiced before they can work again.
It’s from the windmills and solar panels that cannot work in the cold temperatures and snow. Not the natural gas.
@Frank The natural gases and all also failed because they just couldn’t get to the clients because the power lines and pipes and all just burst. Or so I read.
We could say it’s a bit of everything.
@Frank It’s from both but primarily the natural gas. In reality it is from not weather proofing either.
@mynameisray incorrect
I didn’t realize that it even snowed there. Here I am in van it’sike spring.
De-regulation. Ain’t it great?
But…. but… the windmills….
Cry me a river….no sympathy here….
2021 BADABABABA, I’M ALREADY HATING IT!!!!!!
meanwhile Montreal is doing very well in -20 deg C
Is it? here in Quebec City rn it’s -10 celcius. I think they said to expect “a milder” so to speak, winter.
But y’all have power.
Natural gas, coal and wind have all failed during this, and it shows that we need more nuclear power
Yep!
Nuclear is not immune either. It shows that all systems must be weatherized.
@Snarkonymous well at least it can’t freeze in pipes and tends to be in a highly managed environment
@NW Blader Extreme cold effects the sensors in Nuclear Power plants. They are just as vulnerable if not more dangerous if not properly weatherized.
So sad praying in Jesus name
From Tx-Energy supply. “Other Renewable: 32.2 TWh, 7% [12.6 GW total capacity]” so 7% is both solar and wind combined. Also states that Natural Gas is the fastest growing energy sector. Sorry haters of renewables.
Why do you think Canada uses fossil fuel to heat and cool in most instances? Green energy can’t heat homes in a polar vortex at -45/-50 Celsius. Depending where you live in the country of course.
If Trump still president they will blame him for that
wait… I thought the governor was out there defeating those pesky windmills
They knew this was coming and did nothing
Water lines and pipes will freeze if they already haven’t wow
Welcome to Canadian weather, we don’t get the power outages though…… 🤔 hmm wonder why that is. ?
I just sit and hope my furnace doesn’t go for a crap. Well maintained but you never know.
Biden repeatedly said “it will be a dark winter”…geoengineering?
Blame Texas it’s there own fault.
