What’s bothersome is the need for a generator-more and more these days.
Texas is red so is there an excuse for power outages?
Excuse = Austin
Texas embraced wind power in a big way because it has major political backing in the state from large landowners. Unfortunately, wind power is intermittent and subject to extended outages based on lack of wind. In addition, Texas has its own grid system with limited connectivity to the rest of the country.
“Texas is red so is there an excuse for power outages?”
I grew up in Texas and the constant brag was that Texas power was not connected to any other state. We were independent and had energy to burn. Apparently at some point Texas lost that energy independence and/or didn’t keep up with the population growth that has happened.
Poor decision making. They cut themselves off from the rest of the grid, didn’t increase the output of their grid, and now when bad things happen they don’t have the backup.
Yes, there is. The Tx power authority is firmly in the bag for green crappola — like windmills and solar. Until they get their baseload back up to snuff they will sit in the dark, too.
Yah also need to plan on storms. A couple of tornadoes can wreck hundreds of power poles.
Yeah. The tornadic weather!
Democrats are pumping illegals into all red states... and criminals, gang members and terrorists from China and the Middle east.
I wonder what the size of kickbacks are to democrats the cartels are paying for ‘the right’ to sell citizenship to our country.
