People Who Moved To Texas From California Finally Feeling At Home Now That Power Is Out

Via The Babylon Bee

AUSTIN, TX—Thousands of people who escaped the desolate wasteland of California have found new opportunities by moving to Texas. To help them feel right at home, even the weather is extending some Texas hospitality by knocking out power stations– giving the former Californians a taste of the blackouts they’re used to.

“Ah… just like old Gavin Newsom used to do back in Cali,” said local resident Alice Muggins while lighting candles around the house. “I just wasn’t used to having electrical power all the time and it felt really weird. Now, it feels a little more like home!”

According to sources, former Californians are helping people in their Texas communities who have never experienced something like this before. From how to prepare food without electricity to how to use an emergency generator, the Californian immigrants to Texas have been instrumental in keeping their communities alive in the midst of the outages.

California Governor Gavin Newsom attempted to gloat in a Facebook Live post, but his phone died and he was unable to charge it due to a power outage.

The people in Austin are loving their solar panels and wind turbines. I’m in northeast Texas and I didn’t lose power.

Why did they fail elsewhere and not near Austin? Serious question.

There’s got to be a vaccine for this.

I am not sure if a wood stove makes sense in Texas but would definitely have a coal stove!

I am sure the prepper types doing OK,do folks in Texas for most part bother with true winter gear in their wardrobe or not most times usually cold enough to bother?

My 3 part sleeping bag system is in theory rated for -20,really never want to test that though!

Best of luck Texas and for cripes sake,make sure heads roll and you have new back ups for the future.

Texas, you have been misled. Solar and wind have always been a pipe dream of the left. Here in southern Missouri the hardwood forests are a blessing for energy. I have ground source heat pump for my home. It is not exclusive though, I have a hillbilly wood furnace in my basement, it also heats water. This cold snap is what I look forward to. I don’t use it until the temperature is in the low 20’s. We also have a Generac backup generator. It’s time for us to reflect on what all those who have come before us had to do. Don’t believe anything the experts (government) tell you. In the heat of the summer, we jump into the spring fed creek for heat relief.

That’s what happens when you listen to the watermelons and let them turn 25% of your power into “clean” energy.

Wind turbines frozen mid-rotation were responsible for at least part of the overall catastrophe—the New York Times reported that at least half of the state’s wind energy grid was out of service. Roughly 25 percent of Texas’ overall energy supply comes from wind turbines, while the rest is solar, natural gas, nuclear and coal-powered electricity.

25%? Why do I doubt that?
