Our Governor is Incompetent

THE VIEW FROM AMERICA Chido Nwangwu, Publisher, USAfricaonline.com, condemns in strong terms the decision of Texas Governor Greg Abbott to halt the mandatory use of a mask In a stupefying imposition of executive power, Texas Governor Greg Abbott on Tuesday March 2, 2021 did the unthinkable: ordered the halt from this Wednesday of the mandatory order by President Joe Biden for everyone to wear a mask for everyone’s own safety and the life of millions. Abbott, evidently, has his eyes on the anti-science, pro-Trump base of the nativist Republicans. It’s truly a shame. It is so difficult to imagine that this Republican Governor since six years, still dusting the files from his catastrophic failure to protect Texans from February 2021 snowstorm will, giddily, like his political godfather Trump leap into another deadly, hideous decision.

The broader vulnerabilities revealed by the Texas blackouts

Plumbers are fixing the pipes that burst in frigid, blacked out homes.  Our state’s leaders will need years to fix what went wrong in our epic failure, which featured 500 times as many forced blackouts as California’s wildfires last summer. But national attention will fade if other Americans misinterpret last week’s blackouts as a uniquely Texan failure.  In some ways, they were. Only Texas runs its power grid as an island, isolated from the two larger grids that cover most of the United States and Canada. That left Texas stranded when the Arctic blast slammed through. Other states restored power with imports from their neighbors. Our isolated grid also shielded Texas companies from federal regulators who may have forced them to better prepare for storms.
