Texas power grid almost reached capacity yesterday due to heat !

[Vaquero]

Ideally

On paper......

Sooo.....sounds like a snowflake is worried he may not be able to keep his immediate inviornment cool enough that he don't melt. And since he doesn't know any more about power generation than what the greenies told him he is blaming Abbott instead of the real culprits.
Am I close?

Should be blaming the EPA and the NRC instead. They have more control over building of power plants than any govenor that I know of. And if he thinks things are bad now, wait until Trump is back in office and succeds in bringing manufacturing back to the U.S..

Oh, the whorer.

Abbott should be working with energy providers and the legislature to come up with a plan to solve this problem long term. If no new power can be developed then the legislature should pass laws that restrict the construction of new buildings that will require additional energy to power, heat and cool.

Every day I see huge new commercial buildings and massive apartment complex that are under construction and those all will increase energy demand. There should be no permits issued for these things until the energy problem is solved.

Curious. I see you are new to the forum. Are you new to Texas as well?

A huge part of our problem is transplants moving here from communist states, and a portion of those transplants are trying to push the same failed policies they were fleeing from. Our grid was just fine before the influx of new residents

Peak demand and peak generation coincide.

Peak demand for most areas in ERCOT is usually between is between 17:00 and 18:00 which closely coincides with solar generation knocking off for the day. Wind kicks up say 22:00 so there is a 4 or 5 hour window there of pain.

Now we will tackle why gravity is a residual effect of the strong nuclear force, but only in the realm of a Grand Unified Theory.

String theory

When is the last time more government solved a problem it created?

DING DING DING

 

[TXAZ]

It was 90 friggen degrees yesterday and the grid almost maxed out ?
…
What is going to happen with it is 107 like it was last summer?

I’m guessing that in your case, like many others who came and did not have measurable fortitude or willingness to adapt, you’ll move back to Cali / NYC / wokeville / wherever, maybe?

 

[Wiliamr]

FWIW, Tuesday I will be commissioning and bringing a new 134MW solar field onto the ERCOT grid.
Maybe that will help a tiny bit.

Just wait for a hail storm or tornado to visit

A number of data centers are being built in Texas. These draw massive amounts of electrical power. This is not helping.

Nah. Gravity was invented by the oppressive government to keep us down !

String theory

Yes. And dark matter.
And quarks.

What about Higgins bosons?

Yes Ms. Higgins had her some nice bosons. Did you ever hear of Einstein’s theory of relative-titty?

It was huge..

He did marry his cousin, and this famous photo is his niece.

OK.
I’m not advocating for it. I’m just doing what im paid to do.

I have Kleins and electrical tape... send me... I'll get the lights on.

He must have some Biden blood in him.

Re topic - And then there's this... hitting today.

VIDEO: Officials Issue 'Severe' Geomagnetic Solar Storm Watch Alert

Officials say a powerful solar storm will hit Earth on Friday and its arrival could cause infrastructure problems.

LOL, I know, but one solar farm already has been hammered by hail... God works in mysterious ways...
