00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,880
Alright, so my State House representative is
literally telling you

2
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:05,360
to ignore the experts and is trying to tell
you

3
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:07,680
that it's a fact that natural gas is the
savior

4
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:08,560
to all things.

5
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:10,880
Also, someone wants fact checking on that.

6
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:12,640
So let's go ahead and fact check that.

7
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:15,440
Some wind turbines stopped working in the
freezing cold.

8
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,000
But the biggest failure uh in terms of its its

9
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,960
magnitude and its impact was the natural gas
system.

10
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:25,200
Natural gas, which actually contains water
vapor, frozen storage wells

11
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:26,320
and pipelines.

12
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:30,320
Clearly, you can run an energy system in cold
temperatures.

13
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:32,720
There are wind turbines operating in
Antarctica.

14
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:35,440
This has happened in Texas before.

15
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:39,360
In 1989, the same kind of Arctic storm caused
natural

16
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:42,800
gas plants to have the same problems,
resulting in rolling

17
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:44,000
blackouts.

18
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,960
And the same thing again in 2011.
