government money shouldn't pay for this type repair.
Global warming is still going on even though in a small area of the USA there is cold weather in the middle of winter. The rest of the world is hotter than normal even in the middle of winter in the Northern Hemisphere. The Southern Hemisphere is experiencing very hot weather. And the Northern Climates are warmer than normal. When the cold air from the North dipped into TX there was warmer air up north.

As for TX It seems you don't give a **** if they freeze to death when the Government didn't require their utilities to prepare for this type of cold weather. It's not about insulating homes it's about insulating and winterizing the power grid and the coal-fired power plants that supply electricity to the homes and businesses and governments. The Governor of TX who is a republican appoints the people on the TX board the regulates the TX power companies. They screwed up and the Governor tried to blame it on the GND which has not even been passed by the Government yet.
The GOP Governor of TX is a stupid a&&.
