https://www.usatoday.com/in-depth/ne...rk/6764764002/During a news conference Tuesday, representatives from ERCOT said there were 45,000 megawatts offline. Of that, 15,000 megawatts were wind and 30,000 were gas and coal.
Probably won't see this discussed in MSM though.

A free market absolutely would solve the issue. Unfortunately that's not allowed. Even if you had the resources, you are not allowed to open up CaptUSA Edison tommorow and compete. Unfortunately, these monopolies are given their monopoly status for the "greater good". This social contract that was made on our behalf gives us a monopoly that can charge whatever it wants. In exchange, they're supposed to provide a reliable electrical grid that can handle an occasional cold spell. They can't tommorow decide to turn off your power and use their generating capacity to mine bitcoin for example. It doesn't matter that you didn't pay for tommorow's energy use yet. They absolutely owe you that power because you've been paying them to keep their power generation going. If I turn off my main breaker today and leave it off, I will still have to pay about $25 because they still charge you for the privilege of being able to sell you electricity.
This time it's a supply issue caused by green energy requirements. This resulted in a network that couldn't handle a cold spell. Usually, it's power lines on old wood poles falling down. At the end of the day it doesn't matter. The responsibility falls on them. That's the deal they made.
Nothing to see here says the Biden admin....
https://nationalfile.com/blatant-lie...-wind-turbines“There have been some inaccurate accusations out there,” said Psaki, “That it was, the uh, that suggested, that, uh, renewables caused the failures, in, uh, Texas’s power grid.”
“Actually, numerous reports have actually shown the contrary, that it was failures in coal and natural gas that contributed to the state’s power shortages.”
The big chunk of wind power that dropped offline first, started the cascade.
Loss of ten percent of grid supply when running at 100 percent capacity is enough to cause downstream cut outs and overloads of supply from all sources as the automated computerized system tries to save itself.
Much has been made of the price controls at the grid distribution level and they have a valid point.
I will place some of the blame on computer controls of critical systems that override or shut down based on "conservative" engineering profiles that are programmed into the operating system.
Just like a "limp home" feature in a modern computerized car, maybe it's my choice and my decision to decide if I want to fry this son of a bitch in an attempt to get out of a jam, rather than be left limp and helpless because some nerd programmed an auto shut down at 220 degrees of coolant temp.
And if you think this is bad, just wait, as states and towns all across the country continue to ban natural gas service for home heating and cooking and the feds re-instate the bans on new woodstoves and fireplaces that Trump delayed and 100 million EVs start drawing 240V three phase current night and day to keep charged up.

So your solution is to not have wind at all, so you'll run out of power sooner???

Gov’t Abbot is live on TV here in TX and he’s slamming Ercot. 2 million power has been restored as of today, but > 300k are still without power.
Also, the Board Members of Encron DO NOT even live in TX and they were telling us how to live?!
There will be a lot of investigations into this. I wonder if these Board Members are registered liberals.

live in Texas, one from Canada

Wow, you really are a leftist. Anybody on the right would be smart enough to know that the capacity would have been greater for these others energy sources had they not been reliant on wind.
That's like saying, "So you want to get rid of the welfare state so poor people die sooner?"
Nooo..... we want to get rid of welfare state so poor people can learn to be self sufficient, get jobs and learn more skills to become more valuable in the marketplace.

Uhhh, no, that's not how it works. there's no law that stops you from making more and selling more and selling it to other states. Reliance is completely due to shortage of supply or too much demand, there's no legal or artificial barrier. nobody stopped anybody from making more carbon emitting energy sources should they decide they wanted to.

What?
The Biden administration has extended the ban on all new drilling lease contracts on federal lands, including offshore waters, where a huge portion is produced.
I am now out of work because of that ban.
They made it clear they were going to do this.
No sane and responsible CEO would invest their shareholder's money into fossil fuel electrical generation with an administration like that in power or possibly coming into power.

If it was a government law that I was referring to, then maybe I would have said "ask a political science teacher". Although I would bet there's a law somewhere, that has nothing to do with what I said.
I said ask an economics teacher.
We are talking about market forces.. aka economic laws. And you, being on the left, your brain is unable to comprehend that type of logic.
If you go into a city that has a lot of apple production already, and you show up with an apple cart, you are going to have to lower your prices to compete.

Turns out the majority of our electrical transformers are built in China.. and could easily contain backdoor systems.

Out of every one hundred men they send us, ten should not even be here. Eighty will do nothing but serve as targets for the enemy. Nine are real fighters, and we are lucky to have them, upon them depends our success in battle. But one, ah the one, he is a real warrior, and he will bring the others back from battle alive.
Duty is the most sublime word in the English language. Do your duty in all things. You can not do more than your duty. You should never wish to do less than your duty.
yep, which is not preventing you from doing it, so you can't blame the people who got there first, you can sell your apples to other places while the demand is low, then sell them to the currently saturated market when the demand increases in a storm. So either way, it's not wind's fault that nobody wanted to provide more electricity.
