Houston area under rolling blackouts Feb 2nd

[San Antone RR]

In San Antonio, we've personally had three outages so far, with two of them being an hour or more. Woke up to the first.

Looks like the brownouts are done. For now...

Demand for power will go up this evening because the cold front is moving south and demand will increase.We haven't seen the end of it yet.

Blackouts, not brown outs. Hopefully it is over, I know NRG got most of there standbys online today. I am standing by at work in case of more trouble. On the plus side,the overtime will help pay for the tank of LP I had delivered today.

No power periodically in NESA today as well. If we had nuclear power, none of this would have ever happened!

Why is it that we let the EPA and other federal agencies dictate how we generate electricity?

Now, the MSM pundits interview leftist "scientists" who claim that global warming causes extreme cold-weather events.

Hogwash!

Today's climate science is akin to Marxism and its pseudo-science of society.

It made for an interesting day today.

How many people pulled their gensets out and found no gas? or old gas?

 

[shortround]

Gas was good to go. Sta-Bil works as advertised.

Power came back up just as I got the jenny running.

So, when SHTF how much juice you got to power that generator?

I've got five gallons of gasoline, plus what's in the cars' fuel tanks.

Now, I've got to look to natural gas, LPG or propane.

SHTF scenarios in large cities suck.

No where to go with clogged roads & highways.

Best to hunker down, clear your fields of fire, set a watch rotation, and repel the zombies.

Don't expect outside help any time soon.

Actually, it now looks like SA will have more again tomorrow - if the SAEN is right.
