The way I see it, this could very well be an attack on Texas. No way ALL this power goes down like this, especially at a critical time when people DESPERATELY need it. I can't believe in a state, literally composed of oil and fuel, they are totally dependent on a few wacky windmills.

On top of that, Bıdɛn and hαɾɾιs don't even have the decency to come out of their basements, don their face diapers, hop on a plane and GET DOWN there. This is a MAJOR disaster going on and people are literally freezing to death and they won't dare step foot out of FORTRESS. DC.

That alone to me is a major red flag.

Texas, is a massive RED state (barely), but is full of land, natural resources, people and WEAPONS.

They are a major VIABLE threat to the anti-american system running the govt now. And all their talk of "ѕєcєѕsισn", could actually be a reality, especially if a few other states get on board (Florida). Texas could probably kick the crap out of most countries. other than the few bigs like ƈhıną, Russia, etc, so they ARE a force to be reckoned with. So, to me, this is no suprise. Texas is being reminded of whom THEIR  master is and see just what would happen to them if they decide to roam off the reservation. My guess is, is that Bıdɛn is actually at war with Texas right  now and have unleashed the the illegals to invade from the south while cutting off power and resources from the north, with an invasion from federal troops in the future due to some "ιnѕυrrєcтισnists threat" or "CÖVÌD/vaxx compliance bs. this could be just the beginning.

I used to hear the phrase "Don't mess with Texas".......IMO, Bıdɛn's "america" is doing exactly that.

Offered as a point of information, but nearly 70% (67.7%) of Texas' electricity is generated from natural gas (47.4%) and coal (30.3%).  These numbers are only for electrical power a consumer would pull from the grid and do not include those who directly heat their homes with natural gas or stove oil (I doubt there are few coal fired home boilers any more), or off the grid types who have diesel powered generators.

Texas is defiantly NOT "totally dependent on a few wacky windmills", and the data comes from the State of Texas itself: https://comptroller.texas.gov/economy/fiscal-notes/2020/august/ercot.php#:~:text=Early%20power%20plants%20produced%20electricity%20primarily%20from%20coal%2C,gas%20as%20well%20as%20renewable%20resources%2C%20primarily%20wind.

From my reading, or "gleaning" may be a more apt statement, there were two two primary issues in Texas.

First, Texas choose to have most of the state in its own independent electrical power grid operated by an entity called the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), formed in 1970.  How much control the Texas State Government has over ERCOT IDK, but reports are that ERCOT was created to shield Texas from many Federal regulations.  The other side of "that coin", in my understanding, is that Texas does not have ready access to broader regional power supplies if surge conditions require more power than local sources can produce.  Also, as I explained in another post, just like with a highway, a rail line, a canal system, a pipe line, and the like, a power grid has a maximum transmission capacity which if exceeded can result in a "melt down", usually involving transformers at the substations.  A smart grid operator will throttle things down (rolling power outages) before a "melt down" can happen.  The alternative would be much longer power outages and very expensive repairs.

As for the second issue, I have been seen reports about how Texas' wind mills "froze up".  Wind power is only 20% of Texas' electricity source, nearly 70% comes from natural gas and coal, and there are many stories about how these power generating sources were, because of poor maintenance and lack of preparation, "caught with their pants down" when unexpected adverse weather conditions happened.  I live in southeastern Washington State where we are coming out of night time lows in the "teens" (and no doubt single digits on the hilltops where wind mills would be) and much lower temps would not be out of the ordinary for here, winters have been much milder than I remember from my youth (I'll enter my 7th decade in June).  I still see all the wind turbines around me turning.  Alaska get just 10% of their electricity from wind ... much is made about Alaska's oil reserves so the fact that they use wind power at all seems significant ... there is something to be said for the traditional adage of "don't put all your eggs in one basket".  There are many current reports about how Alaska's wind turbines are working just fine right now (I'll not plot out the entire State but currently in Fairbanks it is -26 degrees Fahrenheit).

Bottom line, I don't believe "a few wacky windmills" have anything to do with whatever issues the good people of Texas are currently facing.

With all due respect I am confused about what is this “BS” which is being spoken of here?

Does Texas actually get more of its electricity from “wind and solar foo foo” than what the Republic of Texas states on its own web site (the source I went to and posted)?  Is this “really” what went wrong?

One might research the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) as that yields a lot of interesting history, information, and perspective.  Is the Texas power grid REALLY not locally controlled?  Everything I’ve looked at says it is but I am always willing to know what the REAL truth is, as long as it can be actually and truthfully substantiated from reliable sources.
