Greg Abbott Silent as Electric Power Grid Operator Urges Texans To Turn Off Appliance

Texas is yet another example of how so called Green Energy or Clean Energy means undependable and usually expensive energy.
 
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! :laugh:

You can't even throw a rock here without hitting some Trumptarded idiot in the head!

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.

To vote for a seditious hacked in and wheel chair tyrant Abbott, is a vote for lights out in Texas. Vote blue wave to keep the lights and power grid on in Texas. There is no joy at freezing to death in the winter and burning up in the Texas heat during summer months with seditious repukes running things, and proving Texas has become a repuke enabled domestic terrorist friendly area of a shit hole of America. The legacy of the Great State of Texas does not deserve this deplorable reputation or atrocity.

The Texas power grid WAS updated. It depends a lot more on wind power now! Guess it's not enough...is it????!?
 
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.
Hence the name of my moniker, which has been in use for decades now. It stands as a warning of just this thing.
The consequences are always and will always be pain.
Very true. The illiteracy and the tyranny that comes out of this is nothing but pain.

If you want to make your electricity grid unstable and subject to outages then introduce large quantities of wind and solar. Ask the Germans they'll tell you.
 
A big part of the problem is Texas has13,180 wind generators that produce 24.8% of the grid capacity. Natural gas produces 51% of the grid. You can flip a switch and turn on a natural gas plant. No one has found a way to flip a switch and turn on the wind yet. During barometric high pressure systems (think hot weather) the wind blows less. Texas has a lot of high barometric pressure systems that last weeks at a time. We like our air conditioning when it gets hot. Losing wind generating during hot weather destabilizes the grid.

For the sake of comparison. Texas has 4 times as much wind capacity as California does.

Further proof that Libertarianism doesn't work. If Texas simply tied into the national grid, they wouldn't have these ebbs/flows.
 
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.
Lie.
