If this moron didn't have low key, he wouldn't have any key at all. Tass gives him passes on everything and anything and grills no one in the d party now. Soon, Trump will not dominate the ratings and Gropin Joe will be left sitting in the rubble like "The Last President" wondering what went wrong. "We gave them everything and they still wanted anything that was ours."

Not only did he react slowly, he didn't do anything at all. And for this he receives praise? Trump would have been damned. I lay this disaster at Xio's feet. He's Prez, he owns it. He has the blood of Texans on his hands.

President Joe Biden has “won praise” for his “low-key approach” to the natural disaster that knocked out power to much of Texas in the midst of a bitter winter storm, according to the Washington Post.
The Post hounded President Donald Trump for years about Hurricane Maria — even after he visited the island personally, and despite the fact that his concerns about local mismanagement in the distribution of aid were proven right. Yet in an article published on Saturday, with the headline “Biden’s low-key approach to storm wins praise but courts risks,” the Post took a dramatically different approach:
As the Biden administration faces its first natural disaster, the president himself is taking a notably low-key approach. He has not visited the stricken region or delivered prime-time remarks; he did not mention the disaster at a recent town hall; and he is studiously avoiding the controversy over whether wind energy or fossil fuels are to blame for widespread power failures.
It’s a marked contrast to former president Donald Trump’s habit of making himself the often-hostile center of attention during natural disasters. He famously tossed paper towels to hurricane victims, excoriated Californians for “gross mismanagement” of forests and called Puerto Rican leaders “corrupt and incompetent” for their handling of aid money.
Biden ignored the Texas disaster for days. He did not speak to the governors of states affected by the winter storm until after a journalist raised the question during a White House press briefing. He did not even tweet about Texas until several days into the crisis:




The Post warned: “While Biden has won praise for his quieter, more businesslike approach, he is also running the risk that he — and the federal government — can appear almost absent.”
It noted that 48 people, including 30 in Texas, had died in the winter storm.

I read an article over at Rense.com and saying Biden's administration and the DOE had a hand in the power shut down in Texas this past week.

FDR did the same thing. For almost 4 terms. If you were a d, you got what you needed/wanted. If you were r, you got nothing. Look it up. It's astonishing.

"Soon Trump will not dominate..." Exactly. People are already tired of hearing about him, even he can't stir up that much interest im himself at this point, and the wandering journalistic gazes will focus on Biden. To find what?

trump was criticized for doing--biden praised for not doing

as long as he is the anti-trump he will be showered with praise---but I doubt it will last past Thanksgiving

Sounds like WP is attempting to get out ahead of the criticism and set the narrative.

I expect to see a lot more of this during the current administration.
Unlike Obama, Biden has neither the cool factor nor the popularity, even on the left, to keep that going for very long past the inevitable screwups...
 
Debunking, kinda.

“This text is selectively excerpted from a chapter written by David Hughes in Carbon Shift (2009), a book I co-edited. Here’s the full text (the words omitted on the circulated poster are enclosed in square brackets):

“[The concept of net energy must also be applied to renewable sources of energy, such as windmills and photovoltaics.] A two-megawatt windmill contains 260 tonnes of steel requiring 170 tonnes of coking coal and 300 tonnes of iron ore, all mined, transported and produced by hydrocarbons. [The question is: how long must a windmill generate energy before it creates more energy than it took to build it? At a good wind site, the energy payback day could be in three years or less; in a poor location, energy payback may be never. That is,] a windmill could spin until it falls apart and never generate as much energy as was invested in building it.”

It’s worth noting that it would be pointless to put wind turbines in poor locations, and it’s trivial, or meaningless, to say that a turbine would never pay back its embedded energy in a poor location.

So, 1) I didn’t write the text, 2) the text itself is selectively quoted, and 3) the argument it makes, taken in isolation, is meaningless. Three strikes.”

Was going to say the same thing. Waiting for someone on CNN or MSNBC to wonder why a red state is even being helped by the Federal Government as they think every Trump supporter is an insurrectionist for daring to question the election steal.

Guess we'll see what happens, should Florida get a major hurricane this year.

The Washington ComPost strikes again. With this non story they claim their rightful place as the official propaganda outlet of the Comrade Joe and the Whore administration.
We the people have no govt in place, now we have no media worth listening to.

Tass and Izvestia and Rio Novosti are serious journalism compared to American media outlets today.

And I'd investigate Comrade Joe as to did he actually refuse to let Texas power utilities increase output prior to the storm. We heard Russia Russia Russia for 4 years; let the dear leader (spit!) hear "Ice storm, Ice storm, Ice storm" for whatever time he has left on earth.

Huge difference between low key and no key. AWOL. Refused to lift sanctions so we could get more energy before the storm. Hear that on MSN? Didn't think so.
