If you live anywhere in Texas, this week is voting
week, so make sure you get out to the pools
and vote no on Prop 7.
People have been asking me about this, so let me
explain why.
Prop 7 is a response to the cold snap that
happened a little while ago.
What this does is it puts money into our power
grid, which at face value is a good thing.
If that's truly what it was, if it's about supporting
a power grid just like that, that'd be great, but
it's not exactly what it is.
Because this proposition sends no money to wind nor any
money to solar, a little bit to oil, and a
lot of natural gas.
This in no means is a proper response to the
cold snap that happened.
Yeah, back in the cold snap, every single industry provider
was hurting real bad.
Coal, wind, natural gas, but guess who the biggest loser
was?
Some wind turbines stopped working in the freezing cold.
But the biggest failure uh in terms of its its
magnitude and its impact was the natural gas system.
Natural gas, which actually contains water vapor, froze in storage
wells and pipelines.
Yeah, so natural gas was the biggest loser, yet this
proposition gives more money to natural gas than any other
industry.
And of course we all know why.
It's because Governor Advent has made himself rich, filthy, filthy
rich off campaign contributions from the natural gas industry.
This proposition is paid by the natural gas industry.
And think about this for a second.
If the natural gas industry have so much money in
their pockets that they're willing to just purchase and buy
out all these politicians, do they really need any more
money?
I mean, they're wasting money they could be putting into
their own grid by buying out politicians.
So if we do vote yes and we do give
them more money, are they really gonna fight fix their
infrastructure?
Or are they gonna just invest more into their politicians?
But hey, hey, let's just go ahead and shuffle that
topic.
Now let's ahead and talk about the response to the
cold snap.
You see, I have natural gas in my home, right?
That's how my heaters work.
Now, when the power went out, I lost the ability
to use that natural gas heating.
Because the igniter, the system that manages the natural gas
furnace, is electrical.
So when the electricity went out, even though I still
had natural gas coming into my home because my pipelines
happened to not freeze up, it didn't matter.
Because without electricity, my furnace can't run.
So yeah, just think about that when you're looking at
proposition seven.
Vote no on that, because that makes no sense
Supporting natural gas industry more than any other industry, that
is not the proper response to the cold snap that
happened.
