Please keep posting. You are the only one making sense. I didn’t know Texas had little or no natural gas storage capacity.

Because Texas has so many gas and oil wells the.reservoirs themselves are the storage normally if Texas needs more gas the wells are opened up more and the Y gas plants in the midstream increase output along with the line pumps moving more to the city gate terminals. The pipelines themselves provide some storage capacity aa you can go from 500psi to 750 or 1000 main line pressures as long as the line can take the extra pressures. Being so close to the source allows just in time delivery to be the norm. That’s until record cold freezes well heads, gathering lines and demand exceeds supply at all levels of use. Texas should mine out some salt domes and put a few billion cf in storage just for surge demands or convert some turbines to run dual fuel with fuel oil and keep tanks on site like a coal plant keeps a coal pile. So if gas gets short you fire the stored oil on-site.
