What’s the deal. We just started actually hitting 100 degree days actual temp this month? It’s actually been cooler than last summer. But yet our grid is struggling 🤷♂️
@@terryfranzman3844 Houston used to be under water climates change naturally. Why do you think there’s seashells in Austin rock? No it’s not liberal climate change agendas. It doesn’t help that so many people are using Texas resources because they want to get out of California, Mexico, and Venezuela and come to Texas. You must be a liberal.
Long as population grows so will usage. Batteries are fine for brief periods, but not days on end. Wind doesn't always blow. And solar is limited to daylight hours. Another threat is ransomware.
Texas is trying to mine its own electricity from natural gas and wind which it has internally. Wind turbines and solar voltaic electricity generation that is not charging storage provides no contractable capacity. Nuclear power generation should be the cheapest incremental electric power after hydro power. After that the cheapest incremental power by far in fueling costs is a new large scale ultra supercritical coal plant burning high BTU coal. That would have about 1/4 the fueling cost of cheap natural gas today. Texas doesn't have high BTU coal internally. The US electric power grid has been considered largely clean since the mid 1980s when coal fired power plants fly ash was captured, incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons was addressed and most importantly suffer dioxide emissions that cause acid rain were reduced to not be damaging. There have been no major news stories about coal fired power plant pollution after the 1980s. Further emissions reductions have taken place on nitrogen dioxide that causes brown smog. Nitrogen dioxide condenses at 70.2°F meaning it rains out of cooler locations in 5 - 10 days. There has been further huge requirements to reduce sulfur dioxide emissions that were below where they were considered harmful. Global warming has been stalled at about 1°C since 1992 with no known cause. All the greenhouse radiant energy from the earth is completely absorbed in earth's greenhouse effect by greenhouse gases within 20 meters of the radiating surface that is always in saturation from the strong greenhouse gas water vapor.
Its very tragic and they are clearly doubling down on reliance of unreliable sources of energy like wind and solar and blaming people for using their AC in the summer desert heat or heater's in the winter cold.
Centerpoint can't do the job.
Ercot is not centerpoint

@@domingodelgado3944 exactly👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻
Is the power even back on in ALL of houston since that storm?
Texas has too many ppl moving here. Stay in California, Mexico, or Venezuela!
But the # of people aren't responsible for making Texas hotter and hotter. Eventually you won't be able to go outside.
Texas was Mexican land so Mexicans are allowed to migrate as they wish thru Texas all the way to California all the states was stolen from Mexico.

LOL didn't know that people is making the state hotter.
Yup
Fix it.
He's asking the Chinese guy if we're going to be without electricity 😆. Isn't that their plan?

Texas energy has gone down the drain since the green energy movement

Blame Elon Musk
