I’ve got an even better graph that shows all output from the producers. Where it says in the article that gas also went down isn’t what people are thinking. They pretty much had to throttle back due to lowering demand from the many line failures due to all the ice. Here in the Permian Basin we got hit pretty hard with ice and damn near the whole area went down. I’m going to be repairing lines here on the ranch for another two weeks before I get all my wells back up and running. What is obvious in my graph was a complete failure in wind energy days before they started to throttle back gas, coal and nuclear. These line failures caused most of the damage and blackouts, some still don’t have power and it’s been 5 days now.
Power loss to the grid was 5 times greater from natural gas as from wind.
