>>we are dealing with higher-than-normal generation outages due to frozen wind turbines and limited natural-gas supplies available to generating units.<<
Maybe shutting down those Lignite fired power plants wasn’t such a good idea.
Yeah, Thousands of Megawatts being shut down to appease the Climate Change scaremongers. It affects other areas when they do that also.
Lignite...cheap and abundant. Can’t be used for anything else but power generation. It’s the ideal fuel for making electricity.
Natural gas is FAR too valuable for home and commercial heating. It should NEVER be used for making electricity. But the insane “climate emergency” kooks want to use natural gas for electricity as well as wind and solar. The loonies in California are now forcing natural gas combined cycle generating plants to shut down and they are banning new natural gas hookups for new houses.
