Ercot Said the Texas Power Grid May Collapse and NO POWER RESTORED FOR MONTHS

This is crazy. Watch the video on top. It wont let me embed it or link directly to the video.

American is & has been falling apart for decades. But it's OK your hard working politicians are busy fighting each other on Twitter.

I'm in Austin. No power for 2+ days. Starting to sleet now as another storm moves in.

Here is transcript of article. The guy says something like 'we don't want a situation where grid needs to be rebuilt and is off for a very long time.'

He's an actual ercot rep

Sorry not better hyperlink...I am on my phone in my car.

Again, infrastructure like fallen power lines, or no electricity supply and the grid needing to be bought back on line? Two very different issues and different timeframes.

I'm not sure what you're saying...

The guy is saying that the electrical grid may be messed up, and they are trying to avoid a grid disaster.

Correct?

I'm not saying it's 100% going to happen, or even very likely.

Just pointing out that they are mentioning it.

1) The weather was manipulated to hit Texas with a storm that the state simply isn't prepared for nor ever sees. (DC sent a message to Texas to OBEY and to stop talk of seccession.)

2) And of course, not being a state that deals with weather like this, the grid simply wasn't able to cope.

Everyone's stuck on #2.

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.

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.

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

Texas is out of Generation capacity, simple.

Worshipping markets, letting the infrastructure go to hell in order to save money.Texass was hardass. They wanted their own grid, and the market would take care of it. Abbott and Paxton were concerned about Mark Cuban not playing the fucking national anthem, fuck the infrastructure.

Texas produces more electricity than any other US state — generating almost twice as much as Florida, the next-closest, according to federal statistics.

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

Trump said it would get cooler and Biden said it would be a dark winter.

And the Air Force set out to control the weather by 2025:

This is all planned.

When it comes to Solar here in Texas it's going to be for us like when the storm hit in Forrest Gump and after that, shrimpin was easy.

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.
