Tell the DOE to stuff it.
They will only drain power from Texas and will provide nothing in return.
.
Not like there is any hurricane damage to worry about.
Since Texas built and isolated grid and has worked to keep it that way, if they want an interconnect Texas should pay for it. If not, they can continue as they have been.
Nothing good can come from connecting Texas to the national grid.
Yeah well during that disaster Oklahoma and Mexico were having the same problems and didn’t have power to spare. ERCOT is not an Island, it is a huge entity with connectors you shills.
Maybe the ERCOT grid will take down the national grid at a future date.
I’d bet the farm that ERCOT takes the money and runs. What I wonder though, what responsibility do the feds have for decisions made long ago by Texas? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbGFrrifeEs
I am in Entergy service area and i guess not on ERCOT. If you look them up they serve Texas Arkansas and Louisiana.
I was out of power for hurricane laura when lake Charles was hit and transmission lines were down. They had to do load balancing while the lines were repaired.
This sounds suss to me, especially if it is accompanied by a bribe.
