Texas Republicans impose Marxism

[TC Talks]

I guess they can throw free enterprise out the window, where are those American Patriots defending democracy today?

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has ordered natural gas producers in the state to sell their fuel only to Texas power generators, temporarily halting their exports elsewhere.

The unusual move will help increase the supply of energy available to the state’s residents, millions of whom have been without power for days after thermal power plants, primarily those relying on natural gas, failed during winter storms.

“I’m about to tell you a way in which we will be adding more power to our system,” Abbott, a Republican, said when announcing the order at a Wednesday news conference.

The move took effect Wednesday and will last through Feb. 21, Abbott said, affecting those companies that “have been shipping to locations outside of Texas.”

“That will also increase the power that’s going to be produced and sent to homes here in Texas,” Abbott said. “That will increase the ability of gas powered generators in Texas to increase power sent to the Texas power grid.”

Now it seems the Texas "free market" Governor is complaining that the socialistic handout covered under the Major Disaster isn't enough...

This whole mess was created from a state that refused to comply with Federal grid standards, and now hard working Americans will foot the bill for the state's negligence.

the White House announced Saturday, after a winter storm left much of the state facing power and water shortages, in a move Gov. Greg Abbott characterized as only a "partial" approval of his request for federal assistance.
