Media distraction tactics went into overdrive by going after Senator Ted Cruz, ERCOT and Governor Greg Abbott as responsible for the fatal effects of the frigid weather that blasted through Texas last week.
Informed ahead of the weather system's arrival, Governor Abbott and ERCOT applied for relaxation of environmental standards to access enough regional energy to keep homes and businesses warm enough to stave off frozen pipes and, in the end, fatalities due to the extreme cold.
Acting Secretary of Energy David Huizenga denied the requests because firing up more natural gas and other fossil fuel generators would surpass the emission allowance regulations.
Utter contempt for life and property is undeniable as the secretary disallowed access to "Local" and inexpensive power, forcing ERCOT to purchase insufficient energy from distant sources at up to 430 times the rate paid a year ago.
The brutally callous decision that valued unscientifically-based environmental standards above human lives leaves the administration fully culpable for the weather-related deaths and destruction.
Still, the average media reporting twists the story to place responsibility on energy producers for not having sliced their carbon output numbers, thus creating the invented "Climate change" predicament that supposedly sparked the weather calamity.
The responsibility for widespread damage from sub-freezing temperatures in this weather disaster lands on the shoulders of Department of Energy's acting secretary and Biden administration policies that denied Texans access to crucial energy, especially when early requests to waive regulations were made through proper channels.
