The question is not whether people are man enough to endure lack of electricity, frozen pipes, etc. The question is why the liberals and environmentalists want to take a reliable electric system and screw it up.
Wind energy is far more expensive than the energy it replaces and it is totally unreliable.
Texas should not have to endure the supply related rolling blackouts that are common in third world countries.
Everyone is jumping all over the windmills but they only supply 7.8% of electricity in Texas. Most comes from natural gas and coal from the Rockies.
