Six Natural Gas Power Plants Fail in "Refurbished" Texas Power Grid

[Moonglow]

I worked outside and did masonry work since 1978 you learn to work in the heat.

Your mama brings you a glass.

OMG that was so good. I’m totally embarrassed now. You got me!!!!

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

I do try it in Texas all the time. That water comes out hot… gotta give it a minute to cool down

That wastes a lot of water.

 

[Moonglow]

I believe the summer of 2008 or 09 had over 70 consecutive days of triple digits

I don't miss that shit anymore.

 

[Orangecat]

Yes every day it’s where I learned about things like sarcasm and metaphors

Funny, because what you were employing was actually stereotypical bigotry.

Dem Chinese be buying up all our land and housings and businesses with our own damn money! Now they be burnin down our factories so they can buy more land, cheap, and force us to buy goods from dem… and they be workin with Hunter and Dementia Joe to do all of this! It’s all on the laptop!!” Burp fart chug a beer

Didn't even break a sweat. I'm that good.

 

[Moonglow]

So what is the excuses now for weak Texass infrastructure?

 

[Slade3200]

That wastes a lot of water.

It’s the circle of life

That was just me sharing what I’ve heard. But yes I agree, very stereotypical and bigoted

Dude, we used to live in it at 112 degrees and played football in it.

Really? I would tend to believe that on account of measures can be taken in that situation.
But I still have to question whether people could survive 120F for a full day if no measures are available to escape the heat.

I'm only guessing, based on my experiment in the dry sauna. All that was available was the door to get out.

 

[Donald H]

Yes that is true.
If high temps caused fires Texas would be like California....constantly on fire.

You tell us why Texas doesn't have fires like California. It's not worth my time or effort.

You're the one who made the claim that high temps cause fires.
Stay stupid for all I care.

What is satire for 200, Alex?

Texas Calls for Power Conservation After Six Generators Fail

The Texas grid operator called on residents to conserve energy Friday after six generation facilities tripped offline amid hot weather, prompting power prices to spike.

After the endless litany of posts here claiming that wind and solar power would all have to be fully backed up by fossil fuel plants, this is irony at its finest. All six plants that failed were fired by natural gas. What backed them up? Any guesses?

Ain't Abbott great!

Ah, the old "sharing what I heard" tactic. Didn't Trump use that when describing windmills and cancer?

 

[Dekster]

IDK but I hope Energy Transfer soaks them in peak gas charges due to the heatwave #IOwnTheirStock

Texas doesn't have California's forests.

Is the answer nothing?

Are you arguing that intermittent renewables shouldn't install battery backups for base-loading? Because they should. It shouldn't even be a question. The only real question is why haven't they?
