It seems a plausible explanation for the rhetoric to me: The green Left needs the fake apocalypse of global warming to scare the public it wishes to rule. Therefore windmills — the poster children of renewable energy — must, at all costs, remain blameless in the Texas blackout.

I wonder what the process would be to move the North Carolina border North to the latitude of Intracoastal Canal from the Ocean to Emporia?

VA GOP proves it fears its own voters
By deciding to hold a drive through “convention” in Lexington (at Liberty University), not exactly centrally located, instead of a primary, the Commonwealth Republicans show how much they are concerned about their own voters choosing someone so unelectable by the public in the General Election that they could never win statewide.
The myth of Democrats participating in the GOP Primary to the point they would affect the outcome is as idiotic as the unproven election fraud in the 2020 Presidential election. Even the primaried GOP Congressman Denver Riggleman called it “Bizarre Drive Thru Idiocy”.
And let me be the first to congratulate Kirk Cox on “winning” the GOP nomination for Governor.
More ANTI-COPN Opinion
Today’s V-P had an editorial decrying the use of COPN and the effects it has on care for our Veterans.
I know that Mr. Roberts posted a piece from Bacon’s Rebellion the other day, but this is more evidence that Virginia should repeal the COPN. And for reasons near and dear to my own Veteran heart.
It has been discussed here previously as well, by Dr. Tabor. I supported his position now. I support Mr. Roberts’ take the other day. And I post this today as further evidence that COPN needs to go away.
Deregulated Texas market cost consumers $28 billion more for electricity since 2004.
ENRON was just the beginning of a long road of what can now be called a “Texas discount”.
“Those deregulated Texas residential consumers paid $28 billion more for their power since 2004 than they would have paid at the rates charged to the customers of the state’s traditional utilities, according to the Journal’s analysis of data from the federal Energy Information Administration.”

Indiana House Passes Constitutional Carry
The writer observes, “Thing is, though: Permitless carry is the law in Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Idaho, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Mississippi, Missouri, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wyoming, and yet there is precisely no evidence whatsoever that it does anything at all to the crime statistics in either direction.”
I’ll leave it to others to defend the assertion. My question is, Would it matter if its true?
How Electricity “Capacity” Markets Work
Source: Bacon’s Rebellion (BR).
A WSJ article posted here a couple of days ago mentioned PJM, a regional organization to which Virginia’s electricity providers belong. WSJ made the point that Texas opted for a slightly different regulated market model for wholesale electricity than PJM’s. As WSJ noted, the main difference is PJM’s creation of a “capacity market,” a slightly more costly model that Texas chose not to pursue. BR explains how the capacity market in Virginia functions.
