So this is "Global Warming"? Remember? Years ago when John Kerry spoke of global warming and that the argument is over? Guess the north and south pole were melting, London flooded, and Miami had fish moving into the mainland. Most of our mainland is freezing, and to some extent, some areas around zero/below freezing. Now can you imagine if by chance a host or reporter asked John Kerry how Global Warming is causing all of this sub-zero weather all over the country? Hmm, how would he respond?
Reuters) - The spot price of wholesale electricity on the Texas power grid spiked more than 10,000% on Monday amid a deep freeze across the state and rolling outages among power producers, according to data on the grid operator’s website.
Real-time wholesale market prices on the power grid operated by the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) were more than $9,000 per megawatt hour late Monday morning, compared with pre-storm prices of less than $50 per megawatt hour, according to ERCOT data.
The surge reflects the real-time megawatt hour price of electricity and the cost of congestion and losses at different points across the grid. Early on Monday, ERCOT said extreme weather conditions forced many power generating units off the grid, upending the supply of electricity.
Globull warming really causes more extreme weather. See? More extreme! Therefore, globull warming!
