where is it down there what tried to play with the market and bought energy at some ridiculous price that could only go up from there wonder if they'll go tts up?
The power is off in Texas because the power companies do not have options on gas to control price risk on nat-gas fuel. They do not have enough term-contracted gas to cover the surge in demand. They have a demand surge in their plants and simply choose not to pay the market, easier to just shut down the grid and let people freeze. Its about the money.
And, all wind power is frozen and solar has ice covering the cells, so 4 megawatts offline.
If “Renewables”are the answer....it’s a stupid question.

I hope everybody gets through this, as I’m sure most would.
May I suggest prepping for next winter with a good set of winter wear?
All this global warming!
It’s that little brat Greta’s fault.
Nice going...Nice all caps....too!!
Global Warming is Hell.
Oh wait. Sorry, wrong weather report. In fact, wrong year. Or perhaps just bad science.
Lost power at 6pm monday, now 11:30. Running generator. 18F right now going to 14F.
Texas has bought into the T. Boone Pickens windmill crap and closing coal plant crap. Now they can’t keep the lights on during a winter storm.
Austin should face some angry people.
For all of time, the power only went out in Texas because the storm damaged something. Becoming more Californian by the day. Good job Perry and Abbott.
