Never use a gas stovetop or oven to heat your home, and only use generators, camp stoves or charcoal grills when you are outdoors and at least 20 feet away from windows, FEMA officials said.

How that deregulation working out for you ?

AbbottFailedTexas, elect a Democrat next time, maybe Beto! 💙

So I guess that those Cali hating Texans always slinging shit for the power issues and climate associated issues in Cali are now totally educated and sympathetic since it’s happening in their precious Texas. Right? TheMoreYouKnow 🤦🏻‍♀️

We sure could use some of Gores global warming right now. But it destroyed the world 7 years ago.

I'll bet they're a little more decisive on election day from now on rather than sticking with the same-old, same-old. Complacency has killed.

Why haven't POTUS VP or SecDef initiated some type of high alert to get the National Guard involved with helping in Texas. One would think kids & elderly freezing without power would qualify as a NationalEmergency. TexasBlackout SenateDems SpeakerPelosi SenSchumer

It do to the power company's theres not regulation on the power company's

Rick Perry said Texas would rather have less government control than power. If this is the case, send the relief check back to DC.

We're still without power and some of my family members are without power and water!

Start by voting out the circus of idiots you got running the state and get people that will work for You and not big business.

Major disaster occurring right now in Texas but if you turn on Fox “news” you wouldn’t have a clue. Literally all they’ve been talking about ALL DAY is the death of a racist, homophobic slob.

Where's tedcruz hiding nowadays?

When power is outage, electrical cars immediately become a joke.

Their.

What are they doing to help these people? You can tell the people that run Texas work for Trump. Only him and his goons can F this up

Ted Cruz is busy looking for votes in Arizona and Georgia rather than helping the people who elected him.

Thoughts and prayers should do the job......🤔

When I see things like this I can’t help think of the ignorance and arrogance of Texas, a state that is always threatening to secede.I have to chuckle at the don’t mess with Texas approach they always take. Then a little bit of snow cripples them. Unbelievable.

GovAbbott is a lying and cheating governor! He failed as chief executive of the State! Now how tries to blame others instead of ownership, just like trump! ERCOT_ISO confirmed most of the power loss came from oil/gas and nuclear plants! But he blames Wind power! govAbbotResign

TexasGOP should have been more worried about their power grid rather than other states election process.

Loadshedding in Texas, geez!!

Don’t worry they have guns😂😂😂

Stop voting for Texas Republicans who only have $$ on their minds, not the good of the people. The Texas GOP owns this nightmare. Vote them OUT!

Grab a blanket and get some balls

if you didn't expect an outage, you've been living a good life. Always expect shits to happen and be prepared.

Own a generator.

I see several sources that indicate that a lack of wind, natural gas, solar, coal and nuclear generation all contributing to the power outages. Is the problem with nuclear tied to maintenance schedules - “summer peaking” utilities taking nuclear plants offline for maintenance?

Hey ABC! Think about how bad this type of storm is going to be in 10 years when more people are dependent on electric cars as their only transportation. How are you going to charge it up?

Get rid of Biden. Best way to stay safe.

I've never heard of coal or nuclear freezing. Maybe keep some for emergencies when solar and wind fail us.

Everyone just go downtown, thousands of empty offices are lit up and heated. I assume they intended for folks to seek shelter, right? I mean, why else would they light up and heat a bunch of empty buildings for nothing? The rich folks love the people, right?

We need water
