Texas senator Ted Cruz vacationing in sunny Mexico during the energy crisis. That doesn’t look no much good.

Investment advisor to his client on the phone:
“- I recommend this package with FED bonds hedged with gold and Mexican pesos.
– Did you say Mexico?
– Yeah. Mexico.
– Okay, I’ll take it.”

To be fair, Boca Chica Beach is the southern most place in the US. And perhaps they have a cable connection to Mexico.

So much for Global warming, its Climate change that is the term that covers all potentials.

“It’s very rare for weather issues to shut down a nuclear plant,” said Brett Rampal, director of nuclear innovation at the Clean Air Task Force. “Some equipment in some nuclear plants in Texas has not been hardened for extreme cold weather because there was never a need for this.”

If there becomes more potential for extreme cold weather and less potential for extreme warmer weather, what exactly does that say about those who have taken a position on the Climate and extreme weather and what needs to be done about it? This does not exactly add up, much like most every and all issues that the Left and the Democrats promote as “Science” and what they allegedly base their positions on.

Lies, lies and more lies.

“Highly cognizant of Boca Chica’s shortcomings for industrial-grade power needs . . .”

I had to laugh, because I’ve read (and written) reports with very similar language.

Apparently they had a static fire planned for SN10 today, but had to cancel it. The reason is kind of interesting, there is an ongoing effort to rescue turtles from the cold, and the need to keep the road open. Apparently SpaceX employees are participating in the effort to retrieve turtles from the beach, and they are using some of the SpaceX buildings as temporary warm housing.

This NPR (I know) article has some details: https://www.npr.org/2021/02/17/968719492/volunteers-in-texas-are-saving-thousands-of-cold-stunned-sea-turtles-from-the-st
