Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is mocking Texas for “ignoring climate change” as the state is battling a crisis from the record-breaking winter weather last week.
The historic snow, ice, and blistering arctic air left millions of Texans were in the dark and cold for days.
The Electric Reliability Council of Texas — which is responsible for supplying the majority of the state’s electricity for more than 25 million Texans — has come under fire for vulnerabilities in the Texas power grid.
In fact, Texas was just “seconds and minutes” away from experiencing catastrophic failure with its energy grid that would have left the state in the dark for months, the Texas Tribute reported.
In response, Schumer said he hopes Texas “learned a lesson,” attributing the significant energy issues to officials who have “ignored climate change.”
Sen. Schumer: "Texas thought it could go at it alone, and built a system that ignored climate change. It was not what’s called resilient. And now Texas is paying the price. I hope they learned a lesson." pic.twitter.com/Gu2nwLCjKB

Schumer , who threatened the SCOTUS on Nat’l TV & should be in Jail !!!!
Schumer is a pig.
such a dick climate change was a change of heating up not freezing up
What a dumb ass, Fancy knows it was Trumps fault, just axe pencil neck.
On his best behaved day, Chuckie is still a nasty, petty, piece of work.
Term limits!1 Pleeeeease!!
What a lie? All the alternate energy souces texas implemented FAILED…..WIND & SOLAR are not suited as primary sources for a power grid..
Wind and solar only make up 15% of Texas’s power grid.
Schumer and Pelosi only care about themselves and their fortunes and media attention lets impeach them all along with the queen Joe Biden and Harris.
“They ignored Climate Change.”
Funny how these Dumb A$$es call it Climate Change after “Global Warming” didn’t work out for them.
SCEEMER Mocks everything American including the SCOTUS !!!! He should be in Prison for his Threats !!!!
Agree 8;07 but it still had significant impact to the grid …the problem is the push to move off fossils so quickly…..shows anyone with half a brain you WONT BE ABLE TO DEPEND ON wind & solar
