My cousin has fallen for Abbott's lie about the failure of green energy

[vlyons]

Called my cousin yesterday to see how she's doing. Her water meter broke and there are rolling electrical blackouts. She's about 1 hour south of Dallas. During our talk, she informed me that it's all the failure of green energy, solar panels and windmills. When I told her that no. Texas energy companies use 90% fossil fuel, her reply was that her "sources" told her otherwise. I told her that Tex energy companies had not invested in infrastructure to winterize their facilities. I didn't press the argument further. Why bother?

1. Just send her photos of windmills in Minnesota.

She’ll find out her “sources” are sh*t when the power monopoly down there is forced to winterize their grid.

2. I really don't have sympathy for people like this, it's Darwinian.

A complete lack of critical thinking leads to stupid outcomes, and I do not see how it can be overcome.

3. better yet..send her the photos of windmills in Antarctica at the reasearch station

4. Someone recently put it perfectly

I don't watch Fox "News" for the same reason I don't eat my meals out of my toilet.

5. You might say, "This is what Texas is in crisis now...

Because your governor listens to the same lying sources you do."

6. Well

"Arguing with a person who has renounced the use of reason is like administering medicine to the dead"

10. Another perfect quote!

I'll be using that too!

7. She is probably typical right wing idiot who wants to believe

what she wants to believe.

8. It's like arguing with ducks.
