Buy a hybrid, propane/gasoline or at a minimum, propane. I would suggest you get one that is big enough to run your AC. My generator that I use during hurricane blackouts is 7550 watts, I run everything. Cylinders of propane gas do not go 'bad' like gasoline.
But the grid is robust, that’s why all the auto manufacturers are pimping EVs, right?
A lot of my neighbors are going solar - there was a crane across the street yesterday lowering solar panel.
This may be the best way to get off the grid.
As if because of global warming it’s suddenly hot in Texas?
Well I will say this texas city is so packed with new people it’s hard to get around. To get a burger in my local bar and grill you have to go on a Tuesday afternoon
Everything now seems to wreak havoc on the delicate little system.
Funny, things weren’t like this in the past.
I’m getting real sick of the bs game these people are playing with so many lives.
The green world is deadly.
Could or could not.
no worries...it’s part of an incredible transition on the way to a 3rd world country...
Texas had an estimated 8.2 million vehicles registered in 2016.
Imagine if even half that number are EV’s, what would that do to the grid?
The 2021 power grid failure showed how vulnerable the power grid is.
Which run on those evil fossil fuels, the same as the ones which fuel power plants.
How about just using the power plants to begin with? I have a sneaking suspicion that regular use of an efficient power plant even year round, would use less energy than a generator would to make up for green energy short falls.
I’ve already experienced a few rolling blackouts in my neighborhood this month.
Y’all need a bunch of nuke plants
And on Abbott's election chances. He better guard against Demonicrat sabotage at Texas power plants.

Definitely agree on the dual fuel. You run central A/C with a 7550?
There will be outages...and they'll be beyond Texas. The entire western half is at risk. Plan accordingly.
There is only ONE problem with the electrical grid. They have shut down reliable coal powered generating plants and replaced them with unreliable and environmentally disastrous wind and solar due to massive subsidies from Washington.
Thank God I am not on ERCOT.
It gets hot in Texas?
Who knew?
