  1. Lately though, it seems they get more wrong than right. salt is bad for you, no it’s good for you if you get my drift.
  2. Would actually have them get it right the first time!
  3. Now the “experts” claim that herd immunity from having the virus is short lived and want people to get the shots. I always am suspicious of the government especially now.
  4. I may be in the minority but am glad Gov. Abbott came to his senses and killed the State wide mandate. Businesses can do as they please but having a mask mandate statewide when some counties have less than 1,000 population was ludicrous
  5. How about not getting in the plane to start with!
  6. Not resistant to change. An electric does not meet my needs and I do not feel tax dollars should go for rebates to buy one or R&D to develop them. Just the way I feel. And I darn sure do not want the crooks in DC telling me I have to have one.
  7. Does the government mandate you drive on the Interstate? if I wanted an electric vehicle I would buy one, but I do not.
  8. Lived in Amarillo for about 8 years. Moved 3 times since and each time was going to throw away my snow shovel. Glad I didn’t. BTW: they can also be used to spread mulch in your flower beds! snowblower, not so much
  9. Well I planned ahead and have a whole house standby generator. And yes I do not want the corruption of Washington telling us how to do things.
  10. I am ready for the fusion machine from Back to the future. What I am against is the government mandating the change. Let the market place decide what they want.
  11. Well when they say ICE vehicles would be banned after a certain number of years it sure seems the direction the Green movement is headed
  12. We need more nuclear power. As far as disposal Yuca Mountain still looks viable.
  13. Looks like you are wrong. ERCOT board is appointed and reports to the Public Utility Commision with Legislative oversight
  14. And the Legislature made recommendations to fix it. ERCOT did not. Time to fire all those at ERCOT and get people who will fix it. Lt. gov. Says Legislature is now going to mandate the fix.
  15. I stand corrected, I have read both numbers depending on which “ expert” they cite in the article
  16. Wind is 28% of Texas energy, they froze along with valves on natural gas, etc
  17. Too many vocal groups oppose and the politicians are afraid of negative reaction.
  18. They froze because they used a different type of lubricant ( more expensive) in the traditional cold weather areas. It seems if it is your cause being pushed the government is right and if not the government is wrong.
  19. The wind turbines froze! The fear oil was used would not withstand the cold.
  20. I saw a video today saying to use a microfiber and wipe, then a Magic Eraser, followed by glass cleaner. May give it a try.
  21. And what about the locked minds who believe in masks and vaccines which change your RNA? Equally obstinate on both sides I would think. Scientist disagree on many things such as climate change, wearing a masks, all types of technology and many other things. You believe the science you choose to believe in.
  22. I stayed in DC for over a year, the park had heated risers. I made my own by buying the heat strip (Home Depot) and foam pipe covering. Duct taped together all for about $30.00 Much cheaper than the $100+ for a heated hose.

    EV’s should be charged a per mile road use tax. The are not contributing to road repair and maintenance. Subway and train fares should be increased to cover the actual cost. ICE vehicles pay the tax in fuel taxes.
