Frozen Wind Farms Are Just a Small Piece of Texas’s Power Woes

That is a BS lie by global warming nuts....Texas would not be in the news for power outages if not for renewable subsidies that replaced their existing power supply with wind and solar farms...so the people of America in part paid for Texas to have an unreliable power grid....CA is right in there with them....

you don't know what you are talking about which, of course, surprises no one

TX is off the national grid. They are off the national grid because of the ass hole right wingers who wanted "independence."

So now they learn the price of "independence."

Assholes.

Everything the wingnuts do comes back to bite them. This is bit one example.

....And they think secession would work, lol.

A cold front comes through and they are the reception of all of this grief. When the state turns blue you will be so different. And it will be obvious. The border and the cities will be blue. with everywhere else red in the huge state. And all of you blue people who are so macho that you would die in a few days in the rural areas left to your own ways.

Funny how Alaska can have wind power...

D'ya think that Texans believe in Climate Change now?

'Cause, guess what! THEIR CLIMATE SURE HAS CHANGED!

Looks like the whole state is turning BLUE!!!!

The Dimbo’s never pass on a chance to further their agenda. This issue would not exist if Nuclear Energy was considered a viable solution but the leftists killed that option long ago.

Nice paywall, asshole.

What nonsense. You don’t know anything about how to maintain a large power grid. When those windmills and solar stop working entirely, it puts an immediate strain on the other generation sites. The BES is down power generation and makes balancing even more difficult. Couple that with a huge uncommon demand makes balancing that much more difficult. It isn’t just about the power output, it’s about balance. Then throw in the weather causing damage to power lines, causing more strain and spikes in the BES. One failure in the BES can lead to a domino effect.

If their Republican leadership had been willing to accept Federal Regulation, their power systems would be integrated with the rest of the country and they'd be supplied with power from outside Texas.

It wouldn't have mattered if parts of their systems failed or went 'Out of Balance'.

LOL you’re a moron. As I stated, the power generation isn’t usually the problem. You have zero comprehension of how it works if you can say something as stupid as “it wouldn’t matter” if parts fail or go out of balance. Why do you think the agencies that run power grids are called a “Balancing Authority”? If the balance is lost, the power goes out, and yes that can happen when there is too much power just as easily if there isn’t enough. The local outages due to damage cannot be solved by dumping more power, it can only be fixed when the local lines and transformers are fixed.

So you're saying that it's not the wind mills? It's the lines and transformers?

Funny how so many lines and tranformers don't go bad when sub-zero temperatures happen up north!

Funny how there aren't massive amounts of electrical workers from ohther states moving into Texas to help fix those lines and transformers....

Maybe it as something to do with Texas power systems isolation policies.

You clearly don't understand the problem in TX. It is not how the energy is generated, it is the fact that they have no back up because they choose to not be part of the national grid.

Idiot.

Bingo!

The same assholes that want us isolated internationally.

 

[boilermaker55]

It is to funny to think that the numbnuts on here keep yelling about seceding. They cannot even run their own energy system.
What a bunch of morons!

out of the US

Cherry picker that you are....if it were just renewable energy then the rest of the fossil fuel energy systems would be working.
You are making a joke of yourself.
They do have windfarms in the upper Midwest and Canada.
That happened in texASS is they didn't want to spend money on the infrastructure to have workable windfarms.
The end results, the people pay the price, as always with those that only look t the bottom line and have no forward thinking.
And they want to secede lol

Screw Bloomberg.
He's nothing but a Democrap propagandist.

Why listen to reality? Right?

this is why trumpkins are ignorant twits

or you can just keep lying

Trump has taken up residence in your head. He's been gone for almost a month now. Move on to something pertinent or STFU.

Approximately 11-12% according to The Houston Chronicle and KXAN in Austin.
BUT OH the rightwingers are blaming it on the wind farms.
Such fucking idiots.

dude

First thing is that we need to agree that there is a differance between a conservative, republican and a Trumpist.

If you claim Trumpists did not follow an isolationist policy, you are just lying. If you say "real republicans" and conservatives do not advocate isolationism, we agree.

 

[boilermaker55]

OH! it is much deeper than what is on the surface.
The "money"boys didn't want to spend any money on the right kind of equipment to prevent the very situation they are in now.

We DO NOT agree that trump voters are not conservative republicans

you would be hard pressed to find many who didnt vote for bums like Romney in the general election when he won the 2012 nomination

Trumpov still has 70% approval support among Republicans.
(down from 90%)
Still a Cult to which Republicans are obviously more vulnerable for varuious reasons including education, or lack thereof.
Not to mention Conspiarcism (his true core), and racism.
