Thanks for the clarification about March 10th. I got the impression from the Gov.’s tweet that it was immediate, but the EO does state March 10th.

The NG industry in Texas dropped the ball in not getting all of it’s players, that rely on electricity to operate, to get signed up on the TDUs, (like Oncor), on their “Critical Infrastructure” List, so that if and when rolling blackouts or other electrical outages are forced, that these players are not left with out power.

An example of such NG players are: NG power stations, Texas NG compressing stations, and Texas NG refiners. Many well heads are heated by electricity, instead of NG, because, for the environment, electricity heat is cleaner than NG. Which is another way to say, that to save the environment, we almost lost the Power Grid, and if that had happened, the disruption of many things could have caused the death of thousands...

Environmental documentary film, ‘The Planet of the Humans,’ absolutely “skewers the renewable energy industry,” Mr Kenny said.

“The film goes on to attack major corporations for their pretense, their virtue-signalling on renewable energy”.

Mr Kenny said the stance taken in the documentary is “kinda strange” given the executive producer is Michael Moore, who is a “millionaire, leftist, academy award winning director”.

ERCOT order the rolling blackouts, but it’s the individual power generation companies, that do the blackouts, and those blackouts were mis-managed by those power generation companies. And that needs to be investigated by the Legislature.

In those first two days, Monday and Tuesday, my power was out for 16 hours, 6:30 hours, 6:45 hours, 2:30 hours, and then by 4pm on Tuesday Feb. 16th, “regular” rolling blackouts for 30-45 minutes.

Uninterrupted power returned by Wednesday at 11am.

Is there a way to winterize Natural gas wellheads to prevent them from freezing up in extreme cold. The limited natural gas delivery caused problems for homes and businesses that heat by natural gas. Heat in an office, plant, or school building in extreme cold is vital to prevent the pressurized fire suppression pipes from bursting.

Add to that, no heat in an all electric home, because natural gas flow has been restricted to power generation plants, because of frozen natural gas wellheads.

And then, there’s the power generation plants, of all kinds, that need to be winterized.

That’s my 2 1/2 cents...

The New York Fed, Pumping Out More than $9 Trillion in Bailouts Since September, Gets Market Advice from Giant Hedge Funds

Since the Fed’s inception in 1913, the statutory role of the Federal Reserve has been to serve as lender of last resort to commercial banks – so that those commercial banks could help the overall economy by making sound business and consumer loans. The statutory role of the Fed has never been to be a lender of last resort to the trading houses on Wall Street or hedge funds. But beginning with the 2007 to 2010 financial crisis, the New York Fed has simply arbitrarily decided to provide an unlimited money spigot to Wall Street’s trading houses whenever they are at risk of blowing themselves up as a result of their own hubris.

To say that Congress has been negligent in reining in this abuse barely captures the reckless irresponsibility of what the New York Fed has been allowed to continue to do with barely a whimper from Congress or mainstream media.
