Default Even Nuclear Reactors in Texas have no cold weather safeguards

"Climate Change?" Humbug! It's just a Libtard hoax! We Texans know
everything!


That's what happens when they hire illegal Mexican labor at $2 a day to build
'em.

Electricity was invented by somee Eurotrash named Tesla or a damn Yankee from
New York, not southern people.

Why back then, they were still nursing their wounds from the Great War of
Northern Agression and trying to figure out how to take care of themselves
without the aid of black slaves.

Why would they need electricity when it was just another progressive fad?


"Nuclear power provides about 11% of Texas electricity. But one of two reactors at the South Texas Project nuclear plant tripped offline on Monday. It was a big plant to lose, costing the state 1.3 gigawatts of power generation, about a quarter of its total nuclear capacity. The cold weather caused a false signal to shut down a feedwater intake, tripping a pump offline and then the entire generating unit."
