The results of enacting policies of chicken littles has been disastrous for Texas:
"The Failure Of The Texas Power Grid Is Worse Than You Think
Things are surreal here in Texas right now. From Dallas to San Antonio, century-old low temperature records were shattered almost every day this week. The state is blanketed in snow and ice, and the power grid has failed.
What began Sunday morning as an exciting novelty — six inches of snow in Central Texas — has devolved over the week into something more sinister. Four million Texans are now without power, many of them unable to drive on roads covered in ice and made impassable by snowfall.
There have been massive pile-ups on the interstates and highways, many of them fatal. Food is running low for some people, and lines outside grocery stores stretch into the hundreds. One friend told me more than 1,000 people were lined up outside a grocery store here in Austin.
Cities and towns across the state have issued notices to boil water, citing decreased pressure in their water systems mostly due to pipes freezing and bursting. On Wednesday night, all of Austin went under a boil water notice after the city’s main water treatment plant lost power. Some people I know have lost water entirely and, not knowing when they might get it back, have begun melting snow in their bathtubs.
Hardship like what Texas is going through right now can bring clarity. And in the teeth of this winter storm, the entire energy industry, with its high-powered lobbyists and its billions in taxpayer subsidies, is beginning to look like every other elite institution in America: a corrupt and parasitic enterprise whose failures come at the expense of ordinary Americans—in this case, people who are now trying to stay alive in their own homes."

But the New York Times told us that it was never going to snow after the year 2000 - have they been alerted?
In any event, Houston - once the headquarters of the space race and technological gem of the world has descended in THE WALKING DEAD in less than a week after years of... well let's just say well meaning idiots.
Or not so well meaning as the case might be.
