Texas grid fails yet again

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
 
May is typically a very mild month in Texas so power companies go offline to do yearly preventative maintenance. That maintenance is scheduled far in advance. So the record breaking heat, at a time when maintenance is being preformed ,is putting an unusual load on the grid and we are asked to conserve as an abundance of caution. Electrical service has not been interrupted there have been no rolling blackouts like in California. California’s federally regulated grid is suffering rolling blackouts . They are generating like crazy out of Lake Mead and wonder why the lake is so low. go figure?

Translation: the power companies exist to make money, not predict the weather!

People will do as they do. I'm enjoying my life. Are you?

That response made no sense. other than emotional manipulative bullshit. Which is cool, one needs to make a buck with bot think. It, happens.
 
I don't even know or care wtf a 'gimp is but that you do and define it is a confession that by default you are that very, lol, gimp.

So thank you for defining your, proclivities..
We all have choices in life. You are free to believe whatever wackadoodle shit you speak as is every other human being.

Thanks for the link. Clearly gimps like you want equal rights. I fully support your perversions with all consenting adults. :thup:

It’s hot in Texas

So the grid fails yet again


6 of their electricity plants fail at once





Right wing idiots can’t run things

Why do idiots love their failure?

Go republican and expect to go to the abyss. It's time for a replacement fact against this seditious and morally corrupt and un-American repuke influence that is waging war on democracy, society and anything else of a civilized nature as they whore, conspire and live it up on the taxpayer dime, while at war against the taxpayer.
 
ERCOT coordinates all of Texas Interconnection, and therefore provides all electricity provided to customers on the Texas Interconnection.
ERCOT provides NO electricity at all. That's not their function either. The don't provide a single watt of it.
It subcontracts out the generation,
It owns no generating plants.
and rents the lines
It owns no lines.
to deliver that electricity.
It doesn't deliver electricity.
When the Texas Grid fails, it is ERCOT that is responsible.
ERCOT doesn't own a grid.
The board has been replaced.
They were appointed by the government of the State of Texas.
The Texas State Government does not have the ability to keep the grid working,
True.
so must use ERCOT.
ERCOT doesn't keep the grid running. It doesn't own a grid.
If ERCOT was defunct, the Texas grid would be no more.
There is no Texas State grid. There never was. There's no national grid either.

The Texas power grids are made up of many different suppliers and load distributors. In several counties in Texas, you can freely choose from among the available suppliers. ERCOT is not one of them.

ERCOT generates no power. They do not own any high tension or distribution line. They own no substations or switching equipment. They DO act as a central authority for dispatch (phase synchronization and providing load predictions). They are also a regulator, implementing fascist rules to interfere with energy markets, in accordance with government agenda (where there are a lot of Democrats).
 
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?

Where are they going to go? Back to the SDTC where there is insufficient generating capacity to keep the lights on and charge all those electric cars?

Let 'em whine. They are malcontent no matter where they go.
 
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.

ERCOT didn't turn off anything. Poor planning of the electrical system is in the SDTC. You are describing the SDTC.
 
I am aware that there is one group trying to take this country down the shitter and turn us into Belarus - the Republicans, now the cult of trump and white supremacy.
You are describing Biden and the Democrats, not Trump.
There is one group trying to preserve our rights and our democracy. The Democrats.
Choose you side wisely, my friend.
There is no democracy. The United States was never a democracy. Democrats do not want democracy. They want and have implemented an oligarchy. I do not want democracy. I stand for the Constitution of the United States, and the republic.

Democrats discard the Constitution of the United States:

* They promote government censorship, ignoring the 1st amendment.
* They promote the Supreme Court issuing edicts, ignoring Article III.
* They promote limiting and banning weapons, ignoring the 2nd amendment.
* They promote search and seizure without warrant, ignoring the 4th amendment.
* They promote trial until conviction, even if the trial must be held multiple times on the same charge, ignoring the 5th amendment.
* They promote compelling to testify against himself in court, ignoring the 5th amendment.
* They promote conviction and punishment without trial, ignoring the 5th, 6th and 7th amendments.
* They promote political imprisonment, ignoring the 1st and 8th amendments.
* They figure that the Constitution is the source of all rights, ignoring the 9th amendment.
* They support abortion regulation by the federal government, interference in many markets by the federal government where they have no authority, including the automotive, recycling, energy, agricultural, communications (including internet), markets; ignoring Article I and II and the 10th amendment.
* They support thuggery, racism, bigotry, and slavery.
* They support high taxes, confiscation of property in an arbitrary (and unconstitutional) manner.

RINOs like Bush are just as bad as any other Democrat.

If you want to support the Constitution, the Democrats are the LAST place you should look to. They discard it and all State constitutions as well.
