Chip Bok for February 23, 2021

Give it a rest Chip. The windmills were the least of the problems.

Bok has been paying too much attention to Carlson and none to reality. The problem was NOT with wind turbines “icing up”" but with controls on the natural gas, coal and nuclear plants which were not winterized. THEY FROSE UP. Like a few other extreme rightwing cartoonist, Bok NEVER lets truth get in the way of a rant. He should have drawn something about Texas not maintaining the equipment they do have.

We know Chip doesn’t want to address the deregulation and legalization of profiteering which led to the Texas energy crisis.

He should post all of his comics like he did at first on the 20th. That way his lies are harder to see.

Is this the week trump is going to release his plans on infrastructure weak? Maybe it will be the week he releases his new replacement for the ACA. It has been 2 weeks hasn’t it.

I see that the Right Wing idea sewer is still discharging at full flow, right through Bok’s drawing pen.

Since Bok is repeating the lies, I will repeat the truth from last week:

I knew the right-wing cartoonists were going to regurgitate the BS that the Republican politicians and Faux News pushed that Green energy was to blame for the power outages in Texas. Their heads would explode if they bothered to look for the truth. So, let’s start with the facts:

88% of electric power in Texas is provided by natural gas and coal power; 7% by wind. The remainder by solar or nuclear. As this article in the Texas Tribune succinctly puts it: “Texas is a gas state…”

Typical. A Democratic President has to clean up after Republican incompetence once again.

Baghdad Bok is still repeating debunked propaganda. Wind turbines had very little to do with the power failure. It was all on the incompetence of ERCOT, cutting corners to save a buck and increase profits. Bok, QUIT LYING.

How pathetic. But then, this is Bok.

This isn’t a green energy problem, this is a Texas problem, a deregulation problem. Where infrastructure is well regulated and well funded, it works. Simple as that.

AOC raised $5 million for Texas, while Ted Cruz was shamed into handing out water. Mr. Bok, you did a cartoon slamming Ted, but I woulda thought AOC deserved some acknowledgment…

Not sure what the airplane engine explosion has to do with infrastructure.

Reality to Mr. Bok, you’re drifting higher and higher out of orbit….

Bok should actully read the paper he’s cattoning for

I, for one, do not believe Chip believes what he believes other people believe.

Chip has a smallish but solid audience, guaranteeing him steady income for as long as he panders to them. He sells his soul along with his art.

just another lying rightwingnut…

Nothing was winterized, although we went through this 10 years ago and were told that we need to winterize our heat sources. Windmills are winterized in Canada, and they work just fine in freezing weather. It is all the fault of the Republicans who govern this state. In fact, they don’t govern. They just collect a fat salary

Gee, Bok, there are wind turbines across the country, even in (gasp!) places where snow falls! They manage to keep on working through the cold and sleet, so what’s the deal with the Texas machinery? Oh yeah, there are no regulations so they cheated out and didn’t weatherize their equipment like any non-idiot would.

Its all Biden’s fault that lying Texas republican politicians are the worst in the country.

Has No-Show Joe gone to visit TX yet? And why does the federal disaster fiat only cover less than half of the counties in the state despite the request by Gov. Abbott to declare the entire state? Just a couple of questions that would have been bandied about ad nauseum if we were still dealing with the previous occupant.

Well done Mr. Boc……the loony liberals have their panties in a bunch again with their comments here. Keep up the good work. They are all getting closer to insanity like ol’ joe.

I suspect, now that a Repub state has had problems with its infrastructure, they’ll be ready to support a bill to repair it. Typical. States that have bitter cold all the time, like Nebraska and Michigan, take precautions with their infrastructure to protect it from the bitter cold. Texas and other southern states aren’t used to it. But, with effects of climate change, we’re about to.

At least Bok has FINALLY figured out how to work his scanner…

Another one you didn’t bother to research before you picked up your pen. Pitiful.

Chip, like buffalo chip. But not as useful.

You forgot the wall.Was through Douglas, AZ last week, all the workers building the wall were getting laid off. Fire the workers, give the money to those that refuse to work.

Amazing … Bok continues to brazenly lie!

[ Even “opinions” should be based on reality. ]

Sure, it’s Biden’s fault (and the faults of all alternate energy and pollution decreasing advocates) that Texas failed to winterize their energy systems… that Texas decided to isolate its power grid from the rest of the country so it couldn’t receive power from outside if it had problems… and that Trump’s “Infrastructure Week” never arrived…

Funny, our wind turbines in Northern Illinois, where it’s been far colder, and a lot more snow, have been working just fine. Weird, isn’t it?

Bet the Texans that drive up to Chicago via I55, I see their license plates, must be amazed to see wind turbines working in sub zero temps and heavy snows.

Mr. Bok, basing this on lies, or just flat out ignorance?

Hey, it must have been a real emergency for Joe to send 60 generators for the people who had no power. His compassion will surely unite us all.

How well did natural gas do during this freeze, Chip? If you looked up facts, would you have anything left to draw?

I noticed the airplane in the corner with an engine falling off. Is that Biden’s fault also? He’s done a lot of damage in the few weeks he’s been president. /s

Chip always repeats the lie. Tough to live in an alternate reallity.

Mr. Bok lives in Bizarro World.

Once again, reminds me of Limbaugh referring to "the Obama recession even though OBAMA HAD NOT YET TAKEN OFFICE!!!

Mr. Bok:You forgot to put a really tight mask on creepy Joe. Make sure you get historically correct and maybe have BIden start singing ‘Take my breath away’ as though he’s next to Tom Cruise.

How come Minnesota doesn’t have this problem? Oh, because this is BS, that’s why.

Bok, don’t you know that the earth has a limited amount of fossil fuels, and eventually we will run out? Then what? We need to be developing renewable energy sources NOW!, not after fossil fuels are depleted.

That’s a really good cartoon image of Texas Gov. Abbott and his gas and windmill problems. But its really unfair to blame him for the Boeing engine failure….as well.
