I have been hearing a lot of back and forth blame gaming by both liberals and conservatives about the rolling Texas Black-outs currently being done to meet the high demand for power during this unprecedented winter storm. One side says it’s because of bad energy policy that leans too heavily on “Green” energy and the other side says it’s because of too much dependence on fossil fuels.
Actually, the truth is neither of these.
The truth as to why these black out are having to occur can be essentially summed up in two words: BUREAUCRATIC INNEFFICIENCY.
My take as a fellow Texan and person currently living through this mess is as follows:
If you are depending on ANYONE else beside yourself (including any Government agency, liberal or conservative led) for your health and well being, you are living in a fantasy land and placing yourself behind the eight ball willingly.
Self-Sufficiency is the name of the game if you want to survive and thrive. If you’re not Prepping now for the next disaster, I suggest you begin before it’s too late. Prepping is not just a trendy thing to do anymore, it’s a mindset and culture.
A little pre-thought and planning goes a long way in situations like this and can be the difference not just in being comfortable or uncomfortable but actually between life and death!
Some practical advice on how to plan for emergencies.
I can tell you from experience that instead of planning for that BLM/ANTIFA Mob to storm your property you SHOULD be planning for the next Hurricane, Flood or Tornado.
It’s simple math! Get Practical and Prepared!
Example: Two weeks ago my part of Texas got it’s first snow in over a decade. The day we got the most snow (5 inches) also happened to be the coldest day of the year for Texas (27 degrees F with a wind chill of 22 Degrees F!) Well just to make things interesting our Power decided to go out at 8pm on a Sunday night and did not come back on until 2pm the next Day (18 hour blackout). Can you say Oh Shit! 😱
Luckily, I had serviced my generator, had plenty of gas on hand and had all my extension cords ready to go in their own bag. So we glided through an emergency that if we had not been prepared would have gotten pretty damn chilly and uncomfortable!
