Texas temps drop to -295 degrees F

somehow, all of this is Ted Cruz's fault -- Trump's too

I think they have water in the lines and it clogged them up. Natural gas usually has a lot of water.

The gas is not pure. It has moisture in it. The moisture froze and the gas can't flow due to it. This is a common problem in wells in cold climes. They have additives that can be put in to keep that from happening. It didn't happen in TX because no one expected it to get this cold in Texas so the additives aren't used in TX.

whata steaming PILE

I wonder if New Mexico got any natural gas. Somebody should check. They are dependent on the natural gas flowing from the pipeline in Texas.

Some years back I lived in NM ...one winter there was NO GAS coming up from TEXAS.. Some of the reservations were completely without gas to heat their homes. Those nights of-this event the temps were minus -10 degrees at my address in Albuquerque. It was dam cold.

So I would guess that if the pipelines were frozen then NM should be screaming their heads off for fuel....just saying.

Ice can block gas flow, clogging pipes. It's a phenomenon called a “freeze-off” that disrupts gas production across the US every winter. ... The state is a huge natural gas producer — and it doesn't usually have to deal with such cold weather
