Frozen Wind Turbines Only Party Responsible For Texas Power Outages | Morning Joe | MSNBC

Texas needs to worry about Texas, and stop telling other states and Representatives what to do and say.

[farmerbob]

there are wind farms in alberta, where it gets down to -40*... u dont see them breaking down...

[lordvadertheleftie]

Better not tell them about the massive wind farms in the North Sea. Average temperature -5°c

[margaretf]

Governing by gestures. You hit the nail on the head with that statement!

[VillVDr]

Sad. Well, they wanted energy independence... Now, they have it. So, they should stop complaining about their state's own Right?🤷🏽‍♀️

[rosex]

"Unstable idiots" just blames others and lies instead of taking responsibilities, not doing enough, and for in denial of the reality‼️

[steveb]

The GOPQ never misses an opportunity the spread lies.

[jimmyjones]

if the Governor had focused on his states power resources instead of overturning the election maybe they wouldn't be freezing to death

[Frugal_granny]

And let us not forget that downtown was lit up like a Christmas tree, while residents didn’t get electricity

[JeremyToh]

Denmark, Sweden, where the Vikings come from, a very cold place btw... uses renewable energy. And they have no problem.

[charlief]

If a wind turbine froze you guys bought the cheap ones

[andreaperry]

Once again, intentionally causing division.

[GordonRebel]

Just like the pandemic, blame someone else for your own incompetence.

[thai]

It's now complete, we live in a third world country we can't even keep the lights on...

[grantwallace]

They could burn Greg Abbott to generate heat.

[heidigone]

Here in Ontario, we have many wind turbines. We also prepare for sub freezing weather. Nothing works right unless it's used right.

[annpringle]

As a parent can you imagine how these Senators are raising their children to lie and blame others not too be responsible for your actions!!

[loyi-kyong]

Trump and Republican party. "It wasn't me!".

[seanrector]

How do you know a Republican is lying? Their mouth is moving

[MortenPeterHaghJensen]

This is crazy! I'm from Denmark where almost half of our power generation comes from wind energy. In the winter there is freezing cold outside, yet our homes are nice and warm and with full lighting! Go figure!
