Reply to comment by texasauras in Majority of Texans back shift to solar energy by Sorin61

Not if you've consistently voted for the policies (politicians) that have created the problems with the texas power grid. problems that have been known for decades and can be easily fixed, but gasp corporations might make a few less dollars. Regulations that every powerplant and grid operator in every other state in the US have to follow.

While I am happy you're getting solar, that is a positive step, if you have a battery backup as part of your solar array you are escaping the consequences of your actions if you have consistently supported the politicians that created the problems with the texas grid.

that's what they're criticizing you for.

So what you're saying is those being critical of me are doing so because they assume they know how I've voted and what policies I've supported in my lifetime, based on a sentence I wrote?!? Nevermind that I've put my money and resources behind what I believe in, it's a line in a paragraph that counts. That's some solid reasoning right there... /s

Yes, because comments like that are extremely strongly correlated with certain voting patterns

the fact that you're trying to act like you're being persecuted instead of addressing it tells me they weren't wrong.
