    Now, on the other hand, California is expecting blackouts to happen during the summer months and the state has already officially said they expect a 1,800 MW shortage in generation capacity as a major cause. This shortage is due entirely to that state's energy policy of going Green. Solar and wind simply cannot make up for the losses in nuclear and fossil fuel plant closings the state has forced on power companies.

    Another problem in California is their neglect to increase reservoir capacity by enlarging existing dams and building new ones. This is resulting in a loss of hydroelectric generation because of massive water shortages the state is now facing. Again, this is entirely due to Greentard government policies.

    So, while one power company in Texas asks customers to cut back on usage because some of their plants are undergoing maintenance, in California Leftist, Democrat governance is burning the state down quite literally.
    I was in Plano all week and no mention of turning off anything. Required maintencace. Maybe this wiull drive some of the malcontent lefties out of the state. Perhaps Alabama?

    ERCOT was allowed to turn off emergency equipment in an emergency. That defeats the purpose of emergency equipment, but did save ERCOT some money for a few years. They mismanaged the crisis years before the crisis happened.

    Beyond that, they have planned extreme under investment in infrastructure. The USA in general has under invested in infrastructure, but Texas is so much worse. Even if ERCOT has fixed all the previous problems, this one will take decades to fix.

    Unfortunately, I am economically tied to Texas. If it were really a whole other country, I would be better off.

    There is one group trying to preserve our rights and our democracy. The Democrats.

    We are a few days in....is the thread tittle still a lie?

    There is WAY too much of that around here.

    THAT should not be tolerated.

    TRUTH
    This illegal illegitimate regime that runs America is at fault...not me.... they do not represent me and I have long objected to their crimes against humanity.
