Texas Grid Asks Residents To Conserve Power As Heatwave Hits

This is common here from June through September the vast majority already do this during this time of year.

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 grid asks residents to conserve power as heatwave hits

Texas's electrical grid operator warned residents to cut electricity use "as much as possible" for the rest of this week, as several days of heat over 90 degrees Fahrenheit (32°C), combined with generation outages, could strain the grid even before summer officially starts.

Yipe.. It can easily be 100 degrees for 18 hours a day in Texas.. .. even in the shade.

Yes and people will be harmed.

What about diabetes patients? That insulin has to be kept cold. It can't be put in a refrigerator if there is no electricity.

What about people who need electricity to run medical equipment?

I don't know how people in Texas put up with this.

We should be less awesome so fewer people flee their communist shit holes and come here and overload the grid.

The burdens of being so fucking awesome.

I am really getting tired of being in the best state in the world. EVERYBODY and their fucking donkey is moving here from commie shit holes like California and it is killing our power grid.

We demand tribute from Cali and NY.

You keep repeating this mantra, and like O.J. thinking he is innocent, you probably are starting to believe it.

Have they started blaming AOC, yet? Throw in Pelosi, & Obama, and Texans will be so fired up, they won't need electricity. Win/Win!!!

 

[BULLDOG]

So Texas has a war on coal?

The federal government does

It was very bad under obama, abated some with trump, and its back worse than ever thanks to biden

2/3 of Texas electrical generation is powered by fossil fuel. Freezing controls at fossile fuel plants is what caused the power outage. That problem can only happen in the Texas power grid. All the other grids were required to take steps to prevent that long ago.

It's common for you to not have power in the hottest months of the year?

Wow. And you just accept that as normal.

Wow.

Guess what? It's not normal. The rest of the nation doesn't lose power in the middle of the hottest months or coldest months of the year.

The only time we ever lose power is if a storm brought the power lines down.

It's not normal for a state to not have enough power.

Yet you think it is. Wow.

The article is full of shit. The Texas power grid isn’t exempt from “Federal Regulations”.

But it is. They set it up that way on purpose.

Why Does Texas Have Its Own Power Grid? | Houston Public Media

Basically, Texas has its own grid to avoid dealing with — you guessed it — the feds. But grid independence has been violated a few times over the years.

www.houstonpublicmedia.org

The better to fuck you over.

The article is written by the AP, who don’t even understand how electric grids work or operate. Texas is not exempt from “federal regulations”. They adhere to NERC regulations. The same as the rest of the US, Canada, and parts of Mexico.
Texas has interconnects to adjacent grids, but there is always a limit to how much power can be brought in from outside. Plus those other regions are usually dealing with the same weather issues and will be strained themselves, as was the case last winter. There is no “national power grid”, it’s really a collection of regional power grids, many running systems that aren’t compatible with other grids. Most of these regional power grids cross state borders, but aren’t any larger than Texas’s grid in question. Texas just happens to be as large as two or three states. Right now all power grids are straining because of the heat wave. But all you brainwashed functional morons can do is berate Texas, because that’s what fake news is doing.

Thank you for demonstrating how ignorant you are, as all you can do is copy and paste AP articles written by morons with a political Agenda.

Yeah, we'll let you know when the power goes out. So far, it's triple digits and we're all fine right now.

Yes, power outages are somewhat normal during times of peak use. Just ask California, they have outages and brown outs all the time.

The thing about heat waves is that there is usually no wind, and Texas is relying heavily on it.

There is no “national power grid” you fucking moron.

True but you sort of miss the point

Millions were left without power in Texas as a historic storm crippled the state's electric grid. Looking forward, experts outline some steps that can be taken.

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.

So...Texas is proud to be compared with California now?

We have power idiot all that is being done is setting your thermostat on 80 and not running things like a washer or dishwasher during the hottest part of the day. It never ceases to amaze how people think they know so much that they don’t actually know.
