A recent post on the guy who runs KeyWiki’s personal blog (caution for eyesore Web design):

The collapse of the Texas power grid, combined with the reluctance of Texas politicians to accept responsibility and blame, is why the communists are able to exploit economic conditions and convince people to accept more and more government. This time, the Party for Socialism & Liberation (PSL) is demanding that Texas grid operator ERCOT (Electric Reliability Council of Texas) and all utilities be put under public control! One can expect the socialists in the Democratic Party to pick up this theme.

Some might say the PSL is a small and insignificant communist group. But the promise of Big Government solutions is how government grows at all levels. It is the attraction of Marxism.

As millions freeze, Texas Governor Greg Abbott was on Hannity citing frozen wind turbines and saying “this shows how the Green New Deal would be a deadly deal for the United States of America.”

But the “Powering Texas” website quotes Abbott as saying “…the unique presence of one electric grid for most of the state — the Electric Reliability Council of Texas region — creates an advantage over other states.”

What’s Wrong with Republicans? (New Zeal blog, February 23, 2021)

I had to go look up the Party for Socialism and Liberation because I’ve never heard of them. They are a communist party based out of California with an insignificant number of members. That Loudon seems to think they could possibly have influence over anything in Texas is laughable.

As for socialist-owned utilities, there is the electricity in the famously-socialist Nebraska run by the socialists in the Democratic Party (wait, that would be the socialists in the Nebraska Republican Party).
