Texas Electric Board Members Live WHERE?

Excerpt:

Many, probably most, Texans hadn’t heard of the Electric Reliability Council of Texas until this week. Then a historic winter storm froze up the place and “electric reliability” turned into an unfunny joke for far too many. Their electricity was reliably unavailable.

Well, except in certain well-lit urban downtowns. If you live outside of those, as most Texans do, you were forced to play a grim version of Russian Roulette with your power and water supply — if you could get either. Your water pipes may have frozen and burst, rendering your frigid home uninhabitable. I have friends who are dealing with this and will be dealing with it for a long time after the storm.

Power went out for millions of Texans several days ago and is only now being restored piecemeal. Freezing temperatures won’t even leave central Texas until Friday. Much of the state north of that may stay cold for days yet.

Texans are getting to know the 50-year-old council and are not liking what they’re learning. For one thing, about a third of its members don’t even live in Texas.

Yeah, it is becoming very obvious that this country has been run by a corrupt few people for far too long. Time for a fundamental change.

Maybe they’ll rethink depending on wind power for 24% of the total power in their grid.

Even lying scum POS Abbot said they were only 10% of the problem, meaning fossil fuel was 90% of the problem.

 

[BULLDOG]

I agree. Since the power outage was caused by frozen gauges on gas lines and nuclear plants, and the wind turbans continue at higher output rates than projected, we should increase our dependence on wind. 24% is too low.

Wind is unreliable all year long. You can’t spin up generation on demand if it isn’t windy outside. You’ll find yourself without power far more often than a once in 80 years freeze.

This is the goofy aspect of left-wingers and socialists.

What does that matter? Why? You think if they lived in Texas, that magically the power wouldn't have been lost? Maybe the ice magically wouldn't have frozen on wind turbines?

What is with you people? Every time anything ever happens you find a thousand completely irrelevant things to point to, other than... oh I don't know... relying on a wind turbine and solar farms, instead of a nuclear power plant that would be still running perfectly right now.

You guys are worse than pre-school toddlers blaming everything you can, but what actually matters.

Except during the Texas power outage. Gas and nuclear filed, but wind generators worked better than expected. No, it wouldn't be a good idea to go 100% to wind power, but nobody is wanting to do that anyway.

I can't blame any of them for leaving Texas. Is anyone surprised that the average Texan is too dumb to have not noticed?

Don't judge all Texans by our lunatic politicians. Lots of crazies here, but lots of sane people too.

In the first place nobody is advocating changing to only wind power until reliability problems are solved, and in the second place, nuclear plants aren't immune to cold weather.

How and why a nuclear reactor shut down in Texas cold snap when energy was needed most

The shutdown of a nuclear reactor in Texas has contributed to the state's power shortage crisis caused by extreme cold weather.

Complete and total lie. They are regulated by ERCOT, FERC, and NERC.

And? They are still regulated by the same federal standards other power administrations are. It’s actually more than federal, it includes Canada and Mexico too. You should really sit down and shut up, you don’t know anything about this business.
