NoWas there any load shedding (blackouts) today?
Its true that Houston Austin and Dallas are all liberal cities and are huge drains on the grid and the don't produce any power in their cities.

Liberal cities my ass. I live in Dallas county, and Trumptards run like roaches here!![]()
I just looked st the outage state wide. Just a few customer off line. Typically down lines or blown transformers and are quickly resolved.Awesome.

If this dumb-ass Texas governor had spent taxpayers money on upgrading the Texas power grid instead of border wall/security, which was no more than grand standing, you not have this power grid problem?!! Vote him out!
Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott is once again presiding over another energy crisis in the state that produces more natural gas than any other in the nation, but he hasn’t said a word. As temperatures rise the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), which is in charge of Texas’ electricity – its power grid – is urging customers to turn off appliances, turn up their thermostats, and conserve energy.
In the winter of 2021 hundreds of Texans died because the grid failed. It couldn’t stand the cold temperatures.
There is now a possible danger of blackouts because, it seems, it can’t stand hot temperatures. On Monday The Dallas Morning News offered advice on “ .”
KLTV reports “ERCOT is asking Texans and Texas businesses to voluntarily conserve electricity, Monday, July 11 between 2-8 p.m. ERCOT also issued a Watch for a projected reserve capacity shortage from 2-8 p.m.” The ABC affiliate also says ERCOT is urging Texans to postpone running major appliances and turn their thermostats up to save energy.

Not an argument or talking point that scores points in debate:
"Sure Texas sucks! But California sucks just as bad!"
Hence the name of my moniker, which has been in use for decades now. It stands as a warning of just this thing.Notice how little the truth matters to so many now. This is the definition of a dark age, where people live in their fantasies rather than reality, by choice.
Very true. The illiteracy and the tyranny that comes out of this is nothing but pain.The consequences are always and will always be pain.

You can't even throw a rock here without hitting some Trumptarded idiot in the head!
The Texas power grid WAS updated. It depends a lot more on wind power now! Guess it's not enough...is it????!?
Texas is yet another example of how so called Green Energy or Clean Energy means undependable and usually expensive energy.
Further proof that Libertarianism doesn't work. If Texas simply tied into the national grid, they wouldn't have these ebbs/flows.If this dumb-ass Texas governor had spent taxpayers money on upgrading the Texas power grid instead of border wall/security, which was no more than grand standing, you not have this power grid problem?!!

Lie.I live in Texas and we are doing just fine. All the Liberals want to point at Texas but ignore the problems in California . The fact is the move away from Coal to wind and solar has made the grid less reliable. California is in bad shape because problems with their transmission lines and because lack of capacity.
