SoOo....

The left is trying to say that "de-regulation" or a lack of regulations in Texas caused this.

So let's look at the left's model... one of the most regulated states in America.

California.

Do THEY ever suffer from rolling blackouts because of power consumption?

Oh wait.

They do.

EVERY. SINGLE. YEAR.

So it doesn't seem that more regulations is the cure, does it?

I'm guessing you don't live in California.

I do. Fifth generation East Bay native.

Rolling blackouts? Not so much. Do they occasionally happen? Yes. Occasionally. I have yet, in my almost fifty years of living in California, dealt with a rolling blackout. The rest of the state doesn't deal with them that frequently, either.

If you want to blame the"left", by all means...do so. Just stop using California as your example. Our regulations and approach to existence would make us one of the richest countries in the world if we split from the US. And...I would be ok if we did. That would allow me to stomach the nonsense that comes out from the flyover states in a much easier fashion.
