“The main reason most power plants “froze up” and tripped off line, or failed to start up, can be traced to simple reasons. First, they do not operate their compressed/control air systems properly. They have failed to maintain their air dryer systems to save money, thus their air systems are full of water; when it freezes the control air systems fail, and the unit cannot run. Secondly, their trace heat systems, to keep water pipes from freezing, are also not maintained properly. The pipe heaters do not work, pipe insulation is removed, not replaced, etc. allowing the water in the pipes to freeze.
I know this having worked in Texas power plants. When attempting to fix air dryers, I was always shut down & told that they didn’t want to spend the money.”
WOW! Talk about false economy!
When you have monopolies...
Regardless the multiplicity of reasons for the Texas tragedy of February 2021, the policies of the Federal Government and those of the State of Texas combined to create the means for disaster. Weather created the trigger, and the die was cast for us all to learn from history, which of course is the absolute worst way to learn, because it is actually a relearn.
There is nothing new that takes place in this world. It has been around long enough that any condition, experience, happening, accident, disaster, event, etc has happened in the past at some point in history. Let’s just say it is pointless to debate the ability of Earth to sustain life for as long as God deems it.
With that established over a seven thousand year history, why would we even give ear to moron’s stating the opposite, much less allow such ideas to infiltrate a legislative body or even worse a bureaucratic unelected body that now rules over we the people in place of the elected.
