Texas Grid Asks Residents To Conserve Power As Heatwave Hits



"The Electric Reliability Council of Texas has asked people to conserve energy throughout the week as the supply of electricity on the Texas grid runs the risk of falling short of demand. It is the second time the state’s grid operator has made such a request since devastating blackouts gripped Texas in February. The grid operator said Monday more than 12,000 megawatts of generation capacity is unavailable -- In the media call, [ERCOT] repeatedly said they did not have information “available” on which plants were offline and why.

ERCOT's latest request for conservation is bound to increased calls for an overhaul of how Texas runs its grid -- Gov. Greg Abbott said that “everything that needed to be done was done to fix the power grid in Texas.” But grid experts have warned that the risk of big blackouts remains unless the state does more to overhaul its deregulated energy market and provide more backup power in times of emergency."


In the short time Biden has been in office, his energy policies have been a disaster....It was just a month after he was in office that Texas' whole power grid collapsed -- in large part due to Biden's opposition to the Keystone pipeline I am sure...Now because of his failed policies; Texans are being asked to conserve energy like some fucking Commies?? Summers are brutal in Texas and there is no excuse for so much of our available power to be offline...Hopefully Abbott can get that voting restrictions bill passed so it can fix this problem.

Republicans have been in power in Texas for 30 years.

These morons still don't know that Keystone XL would NOT procide any gasoline for domestic consumption? Really?
 
I'm very attached to air conditioning an I don't live in the hood.
I didnt say you did

But lib joy over a shortage of electricity overlooks the fact that a whole lot of biden voters in the hood will suffer too
 
The Texas Clown Show, led by carnival barker Governors like Bush, Perry, and Abbott.

Step right up and get your free popsicle!

You ass clowns want Texas at your mercy so bad, you're jacking off to the thought of it.

The liberal war on coal based on their irrational fear of man-made global warming is the reason Texas is short on energy
Yeah the liberals who haven’t been in power in Texas for 30 years are responsible.
Look at you. Federal Supremacists blaming the state...again.

Who the hell do you think is to blame? How long has Texas had an electrical grid? You clowns are just like Trump.. Never take responsibility.

They must beg the EPA for permission to use more "carbon" emitting power sources.

This is Federal Supremacy at its worst.

The federal government sets energy policy snd its been anti coal and nuclear for 30 years

Did Trump restore coal mining and bring back coal mining jobs? You people are dumb crybabies. Coal mining jobs have been in steep decline since 1950.

Where are Texas investors for NEW coal fired power plants? Grow the fuck up.

Then, tell the cocksucking EPA to get off our dicks and let us fire up the natural gas!

We are not a full capacity b/c natural gas is limited by the cocksucking EPA.

Who knew the XL was to carry electricity? Actually, with the XL, more electric would be utilized to refine that Canadian oil putting more strain on the electric grid.


Republicans say our electric grid is not worthy of upgrading.
 
It's not even summer yet and the electric system in Texas is failing. Again.

If there are blackouts people can die from the heat. Especially in August.

This doesn't look good for the rest of the summer if Texas already doesn't have enough energy for their people.

Texas is rapidly turning capitalism into Darwinism and they don't even believe in it!

Meanwhile this sort of shit has been happening for years in California, but that state has to much of the right political thinking for people like yourself to say anything.
where are those headlines?
