Texas is getting Electricity from Mexico.

[SFC Ollie]

Is this something we should be concerned about?

 

[zzzz]

I believe we also get some from Canada.

 

[SFC Ollie]

Why?

 

[High_Gravity]

Jesus Christ are you serious? I am assuming we pay them some kind of fee for this?

Not really. They are generating the electricity by burning Texas gas. Go figure.

I'm sure we do. It's just something I heard in passing, I haven't really researched it......

Yeah I'm interested in finding out why we would need electricity from Mexico.

You should be concerned about Stuxnet like attack on USA, which the USA set precedent for. It was the first time cyber sabotage has substituted physical acts of war. USA has many potential targets, including its power-generation facilities.
But hell, as long as it is just the Iranians it's no big deal?

What does an Iranian computer virus have to do with Mexico burning Texas shale gas and selling the electricity to Texas?

Yep, and my A/C is running just fine...

 

[HenryBHough]

I am really NOT concerned with "Stuxnet" attacks on U.S. power plants.

Because there soon will be none as Regime Obama policies shut them down one by one.

Why? Various reasons but the recent import is due to Texas power stations failing.

Also the Hunts are involved which mean money is a factor. Maybe Mexican power is cheaper, less controls, more pollution and that stuff.

We get LOTS of electricity from Canada, up here in the northeast. Why? Because the U.S. simply does not have the capability to produce enough electricity for 300 million people. Years and years of enviro-nazi "work" has rendered the U.S. power grid to be inadequate, antiquated, vulnerable to cyber-attacks, and vulnerable to catastrophic distribution problems.

Imagine how many more low-sulfur coal-fired power plants and CLEAN nuclear power plants the USA could have built in the past 30 years or so if people like Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton hadn't put the kabosh on them.

The USA could have been COMPLETELY energy-independent many years ago, if not for the enviro-nuts and the politicians.

The Dos Equis beer we get from Mexico is pretty good. Canadian beer tastes like rubber bands. On his last taxpayer funded vacation to Brazil Obama said "we want to be Brazil Oil's best customer". Meanwhile he is trashing American companies. What does that tell you about Barry and the democrats agenda to keep America dependent on foreign energy sources?
