The knee jerk reaction the public is going to have to this catastrophe is going to be huge. We have already gotten about 3 times the level of interest and it's not even over. Oh and we typically use panels made in Canada and assembled in the USA, unless a customer wants to go otherwise. |

They must be going out of their minds. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78686355 Watch them move back to California with their tail between their legs.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 77861584 United States 02/16/2021 10:55 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Texas produces more electricity than any other US state — generating almost twice as much as Florida, the next-closest, according to federal statistics. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80052552 Texas is the No. 1 state in both crude oil and natural gas. Wind power is also booming in Texas, which produced about 28% of all the US wind-powered electricity in 2019.
 This is a False Flag Blamed on weather No, dumb fuck. Sub zero temperatures fuck with oil and gas, but not with wind turbines. But since Texas is too fucken arrogant and cheap to maintain the wind turbines, they didn't pay for the cold weather package of these turbines. False flag? More like your own fucken stupidity. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 79410363 Australia 02/16/2021 10:57 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | IF the grid actually collapses, yeah it will take some time to get it back up......its not like throwing a switch.....it has to be brought up gradually and balanced.....Oh and if the transformers are damaged, we have to get them from China.....we don't make them here anymore..... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79044425 Sure, but not a month unless the infrastructure is damaged and even then places where it isn't damaged will be fine. I suspect this is a supply issue not an infrastructure issue so when supply is fixed they will bring everything back on line. Coldest since 1989? Seemed to cope ok in 1989. What has changed? This is almost as cold as it was in the early 40's and late 30's??? WW2 in Europe was an extremely cold period of time Observations - CO2 emissions have fallen dramatically the last 12 months with covid and no cars etc etc etc - Pollution has also reduced globally - Reduced Chemtrails???????? That might be removing some of the artificial warming Then you have the substantial change in energy mix. [link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)] 20% wind and solar Recent substantial closures of coal and gas If 20% goes offline then you need backup and Texas might not have enough backup and the natural gas infrastructure throughout America might be suffering with the demand and the pipelines being unable to supply the increased demand. I will bet this is a supply issue, not an infrastructure or demand issue. Because of that, when they have capacity back they will bring the grid back up without too many issues. The impact on petroleum supply is another issue. [link to www.r (secure)] e u t e r s.com/article/texas-power-summer-idusl1n20s0pr The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), the grid operator, forecast the system should have 78,154 megawatts of capacity this summer to meet a forecast peak demand of 74,853 MW. The current all-time high is 73,473 MW set on July 19, 2018. ERCOT said its current planning reserve margin is a historically low 7.4 percent. The reserve margin is the difference between total generation available and forecast peak demand, with the difference expressed as a percentage of peak demand. So Capacity.......................78,154MW Less 20% renewables - 15,600MW Available...........................63,000MW Valentines day demand.............69,150 MW [link to twitter.com (secure)] Texas is out of Generation capacity, simple. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 79302667 United States 02/16/2021 10:59 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | After reading through this thread, it seems the consensus is, that unlike every other state, Texas should not connect to the grid because of fed regulations that would force Texas to have reliable energy distribution and the reason for the blackouts are due to Obama |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 53837997 United States 02/16/2021 10:59 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I started to get the feeling that this will be used as a glaze flag to weave Texas into another other grid making it short-term more resilient and lower cost Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77022413 But long term much more vulnerable to a coordinated attack. If you have enough rolling blackouts on one hand and skyrocketing prices for those with some stability the public outcry will fuel the idea. Problem, reaction....you get the idea. Yeah, like we rolled over for Trans TX Corridor. /sarc Texans know this is all BS. And many will quickly learn Fucking take back control of the State, Abbott! . Self corrected . we need a new governor |
