Joe Biden’s Dept. of Energy Blocked Texas from Increasing Power Ahead of Enduring Storm – [your]NEWS

A week before, Texas begged for help and asked for DOE to lift federal regulations barring state's energy output.

How did the Biden administration stop texas from increasing power to their grid, which they deregulated and isolated specifically to avoid federal oversight?

Could you stop with the lies and conspiracies, just for one day?

Well maybe you should read the Order in the link.....they refused to lift Enviromental regs that capped their output., until they used all other means....such as buying energy from others, hence the massive bills we are seeing.

The fact that Texas grid is run by a seperate entity then the rest of the grids, doesn't mean that it doesn't have to follow federal laws, and regulations....such as Enviro regs.

 

[BlindBoo]

Fake news. The power plants that they were planning on using didn't start and didn't generate any amount of energy for the grid. The price is a red herring. The wholesale price spiked to more than 6 times the amount the DOE set.

Texas GOP allowed the power companies to choose not to winterize. It wasn't wind turbines (although they should have been winterized too.) It wasn't the DOE or President Joe. It was the Texas Government that is to blame.

The Biden document is posted in the thread.
Once again you’re wrong.

The story is wrong — the Energy Department did not "block" Texas from increasing power production before the winter storm hit. The "major smoking gun" cited by InfoWars is actually an emergency order that temporarily suspended federal emissions caps in the state so that some power plants could operate at maximum capacity.

On Feb. 15, ERCOT reported that about 34 gigawatts of power were offline, mainly due to frozen instruments at natural gas and coal plants.

On Feb. 14, the same day ERCOT sent its letter, the Energy Department issued an emergency order granting ERCOT’s request.

Ask yourself why the federal government refused to allow Texas to be able to respond to the demand before a natural disaster took place.

Instead of being there to help....the feds hindered the smooth operation of the energy grid.

BTW, as soon as you find out how an energy grid works and what can go wrong, then you can refute any claims you say are false.

Oh....and a big problem here is the fact that Democrats screwed up the grid in Texas so much that customers are getting bills for $17,000.00
Who do you think will the customer blame for this silly nonsense?

The whoever made law that allowed companies to sell wholesale power rates to individuals. Personally I mostly blame the individuals who signed the contracts without checking to see if the variable rates were capped.

The source here, which is in the link...is the actual Order from the Biden Admin.....

It has been debunked and started with Alex Jones. The Texas FUBAR started when Ken Lay and his buddy GWB allowed them to deregulate in the mid 90s. They did NOTHING after the 2011 freeze when the same thing happened and refused to enforce guidelines for weatherization and bought the wrong kind of windmills instead of the ones that don't freeze. This is ALL on Texas Republicans. Stop repeating lies please.

I believe Bush was in Washington in 2002.....and prosecuting Ken Lay I might add.....the 77th Texas State Legislature passed the Dereg bill, which was controlled by Dems overwhelmingly in the House, and a slight majority of the GOP in the State Senate.

I didn't just read the article, I read the order from the sec.of energy. It's very clear that they are allowed to exceed regulated air pollution standards to meet power demands. This is just another attempt to blame someone else for your problems.

Nope - this goes back to when Bushie was TX governor.

Ken Lay, the former CEO of the energy and utility company Enron, was fond of writing letters to his friend George on stationery bearing his company’s famous crooked E.​

​

Crossing out the “Dear Governor Bush” typed by his secretary, and penciling in “Dear George” in its place, he wrote to invite Bush to musicals, commiserate over knee surgery, thank the governor for a Christmas gift — and lay out the “benefits of competition” that electricity deregulation would bring.​

​

“We have already glimpsed this energy future, and it works,” Lay, who died in 2006 shortly after being convicted of a massive securities fraud, wrote to Bush in 1996, a year after Texas lawmakers had started to dismantle the electric utility monopolies.​

Bullshit. The gas pipes froze, the windmills froze, the water lines froze all because the governor did not winterize.

and the numerous Texas Govts before him. With that said, they needed more power....that is what this request was about, which the Biden admin destroyed

Wrong. They have never had weather like this and their grid was not a part of the national scheme. Texas did its own thing to avoid regulations, and this is the result.

I've lived here in south Texas for over 40 years and yes we have this kind of artic cold. Texas passed a law that allowed the energy producers to skate, they only recommended winterizing they didn't require it.

Though in the past you haven't seen this level of discomfort etc...I am curious if prior Federal Enviromental regs were waived, or I guess even existed to the level they do today

Actually, down here the hurricanes have been worse. I don't remember this many plants failing at the same time. The worst I remember was in 89. But there were a lot less people here and a lot less stress on the grid that winter.

Best investment I ever made, a generator, paid off again last week.

I am sure!

Yep, different parts of the country all I have different needs....obviously unexpected things can come up, such as this, but the idea is managing it when a crisis happens.

The Biden Admin refusing to simply waive the Enviromental restrictions was a horrible choice, that really put a strain on the entire system

The DOE granted Texas permission the same day they made the request. Not only were they not able to fire up the extra capacity they needed, because of the cold, but also other plants failed because of the cold as well.

Trying to blame the DOE, the EPA or the new Administration is a red herring the Texas GOP wants to spread around because they are the ones responsible for the regulations that allowed all this to happen. They don't want to pay the political price for their miscalculation.

You are so full of chit---if you think it is a lie---why not research instead of posting smears. Don't you think Huizenga for playing his games should be arrested for the deaths of all those innocent victims of the Lib communists Green energy money grab stunt.

The order shows Acting Energy Secretary David Huizenga did not waive environmental restrictions to allow for maximum energy output, instead ordering ERCOT to utilize all resources in order to stay within acceptable emissions standards – including purchasing energy from outside the state.

That's false.

I think it's been firmly established that the Democrats are lawless, supporters of Muslim terrorism, and backers of rioters and looters all over the country.
Now we can establish that they are busy murdering people by causing power outages during extreme weather.
This isn't a fantasy. This is reality.
When you have a political party that sabotages it's own country's infrastructure for it's own nefarious gains....we have the greatest threat to this nation in our history.

Republican profiteers sabotaged Texas's grid.

Are you serious?

Absolutely.. Texas only gets 10% of their power from wind turbines.. This is a cascading screw up... and they are looking for someone to blame.

Texas has been ordered to increase the amount of power that is derived from renewable energy sources by the federal government and decrease emissions from plants using fossil fuels.
If what you say is true, which it is not, 10% of the energy grid dumps right in the middle of a huge increase in demand.
What do you think happened to the grid as a result of this huge surge?
Well, you get blackouts cutting off the power to millions of people trying to heat their homes with solar panels. If they have generators installed in their homes to make up this loss of power that use natural gas....the pressure in the lines drops rendering them useless. I think alot of people in Texas have installed natural gas fired generators in their homes because of the constant loss of power due to storms.

Now....if the Democrats are successful in changing the grid over to 60% of the allowable sources must be wind or solar, what do you think will happen if a storm wipes out the windfarms and solarfarms?

Read the actual words of Biden's proclamation, rather than just cherry-pick.
They gov't knows and you do not.
.

Look dumb-ass.....all of this wouldn't have been necessary if it weren't for the tree-huggers and their ridiculous green policies complicating the operation of our energy grid.
Imagine a industry that is just as complex and confusing as our tax code.

The only thing Democrats are good at is complaining and making things more difficult and confusing. These people can't do anything right....yet they are in control of our energy grid. Don't you think this will become a problem down the road?
And when everything blows up in their faces they never fail to blame it all on someone who is just doing what they are told....by them.
