<div dir="ltr">It's got some nuclear power plants as well. those were/are practically frozen, along with their oil, coal etc. all of thats an ice cube because "why would anyone invest in heat and cold protection in west texas?" Translation they cut safety corners for profit. in the meen time a large amount of the state won't get any power back till at least friday or when ever the weather their isn't ass.: ie litterrally freezing temperatures. god knows when that'll be.<div>Breader, matter-antimatter[not practical yet], and even steam is renewable.
