Texas LARPING Frozen.

Texas has always had a hard on for freedom. Its governor? always brings up secession every now and again.

Too many eggs in one basket, freak power storm, detached grid, no preparation, it is all ingredients for one giant shit sandwich.

AZ has always gone red until recently but never had these issues cause there is something called compromise that Texans do not understand.

What Texans are you referring to? The executives, lobbyists and politicians that made the situation?

All power plants that are not wind or solar are steam engines. And yes, nuclear power plants are pretty much the best solution. Small modular reactor design in a more distributed power grid would make things a lot more stable.
How is synchronization with centralized/big-ass power plants compared to a more dsitributed grid? Few multi-GW plants vs. many more ~300 MW plants? I'm wondering... Big plants probably take longer to synchronize individually, but smaller plants are more numerous, even if they can follow loads more quickly.
Lots of very interesting SMR designs are in the approval or even licensing process. Lower initial capital cost and lower running cost should make them way cheaper than anything else, but I doubt they'll ever go anywhere for political reasons.

Yeah apparently Gates was working on this with other people and there were funds going both ways between US and China but that goy cut when trade war picked up. It might comeback now though under different funds hopefully. As long as were not sticking reactors by a tsunami coastline in earthquake countty it'll be fine, I think.

The same Texans that are ok with politicians talking about secession and fine with relying on one primary source of energy instead of diversification.

Texas is the only state that acts like this and often.
 
Plumbers fucked us by not calling us after 4 days to tell us they are not coming since they felt like doing a bigger job so I have some handyman guy coming soon. If I don't take a shower today I am going to murder Crni.

Well Texans do like the pretend to be their own country and they even do that cringey I'm not American, I'm from Texas bullshit from time to time. Either way this is Ted Cruz's fault.
 
I am honestly not sure what Ted Cruz even does. Is he congressman, or senate? I still don't know. It's funny that after the whole Trumpism schtick regarding Mexico he flew his ass there while all this shit happened in Texas while being one of their elected reps.

Mexico first.

Congress is comprised of the senate and the house of representatives.

Although the correct term would be senator and representative, the representative side is often called congressman or woman.

Technically one can argue all senators and reps are members of congress but not the other way around.

Ted Cruz doesn't have sway with ERCOT, which is run by the state legislature. Nor is Cruz responsible for the desire of Texans to remain 'independent', especially with their grid.

But as a politician, he should have known it would be bad publicity. But then again, many republicans also think Cruz is a nightmare to work with so.

How is it that there are so many of these figures in the Republican party that they disavow? The same stuff was said with Trump and he will be the nominee again in 2024. Perhaps this is what the party actually is?
 
The GOP if anything, is pragmatic. They didn't want Trump but they knew that people were so sick of the racial bullshit that Trump would win. So they made a choice to back the president and maintain party unity.

You have Bernie, AOC, Tulsi Gabbard that face hate from their own party. Elisabeth Warren lost a lot of points due to her own bungling on a variety of things.

I sincerely doubt that Trump would have a chance in 24. Given his recent loss and how historically, most presidents serve two terms, the idea of another Trump presidency is slim.

Those people lost though. Trump and Cruz didn't and even after Trump's loss he is holding a speech to drum up support. 2024 Candidate is already selected. It's just weird how often republicans dismiss their own as not being republican or whatever. Trump got over 70 million votes from republicans, had total party support when in office and nominated republicans whenever the opportunity was there.

He is a republican. How else would you determine this?

I would say the GOP if anything is a party with no platform.

Both the GOP and the democrats have one very big issue - and both are dealing with it in different ways. And that's a demographic change.

When it comes to democrats you have a lot of left leaning and progressive ideas and groups mainly by younger people. And they challange the democratic establishment. Hate them or like them. But they are there. And they can vote.

With the GOP the problem is their voter base is simply disapearing. Their political stance is less appealing to young voters while minorities are becoming more and more important in elections - see Georgia. And a lot of the "always GOPers" are well, simply old. So they won't be around forever.

Actually I think republicans would be really surprised how many minorities are pretty conservative in their views. Particularly when you look at male black voters or latinos. They could score a lot of points here if they would just change their message a little. If they would just become a bit more inclusive and a bit more less about constant "fear" and actual policies. But the GOP chose to become more extreme, first with the Tea Party movement and now with MAGA. I wouldn't be surprised if they at some point go full white nationalism. However I am not sure if that will secure them victories. America doesn't like parties that go to the extreme. Both democrats and republicans have been shattered and rebuild again, historically speaking. Could happen again. Who knows? We have to wait and see I guess.

Cause Trump is an opportunist. He technically is an independent as the GOP didn't embrace him until he won as a repub. He is pretty much an isolationist, which historically is a dem/leftist/socialist position. He was pro-choice, another leftist position. Assault weapon ban? Another idea with a thumbs up Trump. I think in an old CNN interview he claimed he was a democrat. Trump cozied up to dictators like Kim Jong Un and Putin, something both parties found distasteful.

He needed a strong party as even Bernie tied himself to a major one, instead of risking going it alone. With the dems locked up with Hillary and Sanders, his only choice was repub and he changed his message accordingly.

Crni

The GOP will always have a platform as long dems and the left encourage illegal cheating and pushing to give them resources. The GOP has a platform everytime cities like Seattle and Cali prioritise helping lazy fucks and race baiters.

If the left really meant what they say about inclusivity, they wouldn't fill their party with race hustlers that promote only their race and pushing ID Pol down everyones throats. If dems actually mean what they say when they want to stop all the cheating, they would treat illegals the way they treat the tax dodging rich. If the left want clean energy that is realistic and affordable, they would push nuclear power and not virtue signal with expensive and in efficient goals like trying to force 100 percent clean energy dates or obstruct nuclear. But we know this won't happen.

Inclusivity often = race baiting and support for illegals. Inclusivity means letting guys go into girls restrooms and compete against them in sports. The GOP would never go for it.

The real problem is the lack of compromise and bi partisanship. The problem is with leftists and right wingers. The problem is without a strong middle position, nothing gets done.
