The states not the Obama Administration had the right to regulate utilities. When the states voted in favor of deregulated utility rates opening up the business to competition old, outdated and expensive to operate coal and some nuke plants could not compete in a deregulated environment.
You most certainly did say that a real conservative wouldn't take those benefits. Have been saying it for years. Pretty certain in the past you said Republicans shouldn't get SS since they're so against it. Always with the extreme view.
When ERCOT chose not to connect Texas to the national power grid....people died.
Renewables And Storage Got Texas’ Grid Through This Heat Wave. But The State Legislature Still Hasn’t Fixed Its Underlying Problems
Legislators didn’t just pass bad policy—they ignored good policy that could ease grid strains while saving consumers money.www.forbes.com
The Obama administration put regulations on coal fired plants that caused quite a few to shut down.
There is no national power grid. There are several.
Show me where I said that. Conservatives don't like being called out over their cherry picking of federal programs.
Operate independently but they are connected and can shift power to areas of critical need.
Giving that you live and maintain residence in states that are still regulated perhaps you still don't understand.
Not the way I read it.
If a thief steals your lawnmower then brings it back would you refuse to accept it because you're against stealing?
What I was talking about was the polar vortex of 2021 that froze out the power generation and transmission system of a large part of Texas. Estimates of the number of people killed by the storms and power loss run from 240 to as high as 700.
LOL you say show me then turn around and try to justify it. Program A is available to everyone, not just me. Program B would be things that are created to get votes but absolutely aren't necessary. An example would be offering student debt relief to people making up to $125k, $250k for couples. You've got couples struggling to get by on one paycheck, make less than $50k on two paychecks, and you want to give student debt relief to people living in nice homes, driving nice cars, take nice vacations. Nothing but buying votes and the country can't afford it. Yet you try.
You're under the impression that old power lines aren't continuously inspected and replaced? My uncle retired from Florida Power. He spent his days inspecting power lines and substations.
Kinda sad his job is now being done by drones.
Within their own grid. There are three separate grids.
He worked his way into that. Still need boots on the ground to replace lines.
