Yeah anybody with some common sense understand green energy is code for bureaucrats and politicians making money off of more scare and deceive climate change idiocy

If it weren't for "dirty" electrical power thousands would be dead during that cold snap.

There's a bunch of dirty secrets about "green" energy. First of all, it's not green - except for the money paid for offset credits.

BTW, whatever happened to that "smart electrical grid" that Obama promised?

Actually the Green Deal is meant to destroy the economy and replace capitalism with socialism.

Hopefully they have learned their lesson and will support our US energy dominant companies.

My daughter must have been lucky then, they had no problems keeping their home well heated this winter.
Even with getting a lot of snow, and below zero temps.

every tree north of Waco will be cut down for firewood under the new green deal

but the socialists will then pass another law about that where you lose your property if you cut down a tree unless you are a person of color or can prove non-european undocumented immigrant status

maybe call it The People's Democratic Confiscatory Green Reimbursement, Equity, Justice and Restoration Act

Another good reason to keep the 2nd amendment.

Typical red state misinformation.
Just one problem. The article is bullshit.

Yes there was a gas shortage. And no, there was no electrical shortage.
Xcel and the local sheriff's department were passing out heaters. They use a lot of power to run. There have also been high winds.

"According to the Sherburne County sheriff, Xcel also distributed heaters.

Jason Camarena woke up Wednesday morning to find his natural gas service was out and the temperature in his Princeton home had dropped to 54 degrees. He and his wife and two children headed to the nearby AmericInn, but took it all in stride.

“How can you be mad?” Camarena said, noting that Xcel power crews had been out in the bitter cold since 3 a.m.

“I mean they have that, and we have this,” he said, gesturing toward the pool where his children were swimming. To show his appreciation, Camarena brought coffee and hot chocolate Wednesday to the crews at work on the outage near his home.

Greg Butler got the temperature in his home up to 60 degrees with the help of six space heaters.

“I feel like we’ll be all right,” he said.

While Xcel works to restore the heat, the company enlisted the help of licensed plumbers to keep residential pipes from freezing. “The unprecedented cold and wind (No wind?) that we’re dealing with in Minnesota has customers running their heat almost nonstop which really increases demand on our system,” Xcel said in a statement. “Because we’ve had some outages due to this in central Minnesota, we’re taking further steps and exercising an abundance of caution to help conserve natural gas so the system can continue to operate well throughout the state.”
