Granny's gone and done it again

It blows my mind the trouble Texas is in. No water cause the pumping stations and treatment plants can't run without power...everything is dependent on the electricity...which shows the flaws and weaknesses of a fully electric society.

thats true Star, I never thought of that

Your taking him?

nope , I guess at least at the moment Robert and Vicki are taking him. But that's still 48 hours away so who knows. I find that amusing considering his 20 something son is living with him.

and NOW even if you have gas boilers they are required to be electric ignition and then the electric recirulating pumps are electric so still pretty much screwed. THANK YOU Obama admin.

I've had propane stove, I've had electric stoves, I've had natural gas furnace (which, ok still wouldn't go with no power but you could probably tweak something or use a lower powered generator to power it vs a fully electric one) and I've had an electric hvac....we're not on a well but some neighbors are. If you had an electric car you couldnt go anywhere with no power on the grid. The windmills could be fortified to still provide power in the cold snaps I'm sure - but that was an extra cost the power companies/windmill operators didn't deem the risk strong enough for the extra expense. Oops.

It's funny, how the chicken groups on facebook have been inundated by all the "it's cold will my chickens live" and people moving their flock in the house. Heck, I know my coop would NOT do for a Canadian winter. I'd be moving my flock in the garage or in the house too. It's not DESIGNED for those temps. It's more designed so they'll survive the heat.
