The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) has ordered utilities to begin rotating outages to compensate for a generation shortage due high usage in extreme weather. Rotating outages are controlled, temporary interruptions of service designed to ease the load on the electric grid. To see recent reports on the grid load, click here. The outages last anywhere from 10-45 minutes and the locations and durations are determined by the local utilities.

Those left shivering or hungry during the outages wish to thank the environazis for blocking the construction of new power generating facilities that would mitigate these blackouts.

"The inability to construct new facilities, whether coal- or gas fired, hydro-powered or nuclear," said, John Doe, a member of the New Power Coalition, "has created this situation and, barring any unforeseen circumstances, it will only get worse in the future."

You know if the nuclear power plant hadn’t been stealing left and right back in the 80’s and we had some honest people; we might have had the plants. It was the biggest scam ever down there than.
