I could be drawing conclusions that aren't there, but China is currently trying to expand it's weather control program: https://www.businessinsider.com/china-expanding-weather-modification-program-artificial-rain-snow-2025-2020-12?op=1
And in 2020, China purchased a 130,000 acre wind farm in Texas: https://yournews.com/2020/12/14/1963208/communist-china-bought-130000-acre-wind-farm-in-texas-right-next/
I know the entire country is frigid right now, but could China be controlling at least part of the weather, particularly in and around Texas? What exactly are they doing on that wind farm? Are their weather control capabilities further along than the article suggests? Does this have to do with the storm?
Why the fuck would Biden declare a state of emergency in only 1 state? It’s still above 0 and there’s clearly colder weather in other states.
What is Abbott’s response to this?
The governor requested the declaration. My guess is they don't normally have this kind of weather there, so they aren't prepared for it.
I imagine lots of freezing pipes.
Natural gas fracking wells and wind turbines are actually the things that are freezing, which is really bad for heat/power generation.
They ate having rolling blackouts for 30 mins every hour or 2 in Dallas since the grid cant handle this surge of people trying to heat their homes.
Update: Read the article
Abbott requested it.
Texas is not equipped to deal with weather like this. No one knows how to drive in ice. Our powerlines aren't made to withstand it. We don't have snow ploughs, and we only have a few brine trucks in the big cities. Smaller towns have sand trucks. I grew up in a small town and my mom was driving once and saw two guys shoveling sand from the back of a pickup truck on overpasses. That was our sand truck lol
I know people up North don't get it, but we just don't have the means to deal with this weather because it rarely happens. This is the worst snowstorm I've ever seen here and I've lived here my whole life and I'm almost 33. They are forecasting blizzard conditions tonight. It's insane. I know you yankees don't get it, but it's a big deal. I'm expecting everything to be shut down for the next week.
Because Texans rarely deal with this kind of weather, so no infrastructure is in place to handle it. Not to mention cars sliding on the roads like in NC.
