Lets assume during an average Feb day in Texas they use 100,000 megawatts 40k is natural gas 25k is wind 20k is coal 10k is nuclear 5k is solar Now during a 100 year event they need 400,000 megawatts may 500,000 because of the extra heating demands. Lets use 500k. Natural gas went from 25k up to 200k 400% more Wind goes down from 25k to 2,500 90% less Solar goes from from 5K to 500 90% less Nuc stays the same? 500k -200,000 Gas -2,500 -500 = a short fall of the 297,000 needed megawatts because of the heating demand. Then again you are the resident genius, you know this already. This is all assuming those figures posted are accurate, which I would dispute as it has been widely reported that renewable energy accounts for less than 15% of Texas power production and you assert that it contributes 35%. Besides all that, you ignore the fact that immediate surrounding states are NOT in the news for power outages. And you also ignore the fact that Texas, in it's never-ending fight for independence, effectively de-coupled itself from the national power grid in the name of independence and deregulation. That independence and deregulation lead to all of this. Oklahoma, Arkansas and all other surrounding states are NOT suffering from the same blackouts NO MATTER their reliance on fossil fuels or renewable energy. You won't address this and you won't admit it. No matter what you say about fossil fuel electrical generation and renewable, no surrounding states suffered as Texas has and it is all due to their pursuit of deregulation and independence. Congratulations. This storm did not only happen in Texas and Texas is not the only state in this that has renewable energy. To blame this on renewables is disingenuous and dishonest. Texas fucked itself and it is on display for all the world to see. I would bet that they all wished that global warming was a little bit more real today. Probably about 30 degrees truer than is has been recently. It was an educated guess. So, how much of Texas power comes from wind turbines? What about natural gas? Wind power has been the fastest-growing source of energy in Texas' power grid. In 2015, wind power generation supplied 11% of Texas' energy grid. Last year it supplied 23% of the system's power, surpassing coal as the second-largest source of energy. But natural gas still leads the way in the state. An ERCOT report on generating capacity listed the top sources of power in the state: Natural gas (51%) Wind (24.8%) Coal (13.4%) Nuclear (4.9%) Solar (3.8%) Hydro, biomass-fired units (1.9% Those above create 38,426,000 MWH So this is what I should have used as a average 50 degree Texas day in Feb., is 922,224,000 Regardless of the actual numbers, my numbers would still shows how green could be down 90% Gas could be up 400%, and still fall short even if the demand only went up 2 times. What's you electric consumption in (Sept, Oct, March, or April) vs Feb

"Just last year, the Wall Street Journal reported that the U.S. seized a Chinese-built transformer because officials believe “its electronics had been secretly given malicious capabilities, possibly allowing a distant adversary to monitor or even disable it on command.” Cybersecurity expert Joseph Weiss reported that officials found “electronics that should not have been part of the transformer – hardware backdoors” that could allow the Chinese to “effectively gain control of the transformers without any network forensics being the wiser.” Tommy Waller, director of infrastructure security at the Center for Security Policy and the director of an expert coalition called “Secure the Grid,” said that the concerns extend beyond remote-computer control. “We’re also worried about sensors and actuators and drives that are installed even if they are not connected to the Internet,” he said. “If that hardware installed inside of them is designed at some point to send the wrong readings, it could sabotage the safety and security of that system.” www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/bidens-order-c

Well I guess I better get busy because if I only have 9 years left to do all the things I want to do, time is running out. Oh and the Vikings better get serious about winning a Super Bowl because they are also running out of time.

Whataboutism doesn't fix anything. Obama was wrong and Cruz is wrong. Both dick moves. One side can admit it, the other side seeks to excuse it.

I glad you acknowledge Cruz admitted it was probably wrong. That's why he was gone less than 24 hrs. Still not sure what a senator who is a lawyer was going to do in that 24 hrs. Use his wife's hair dryer to deice windmills, scrap ice off solar panels? Is there a magic button to push to turn the power back on that only Cruz knows about?

I didn't say shit about Cruz admitting anything. But, yes that is all it is about. Cruz doesn't know shit about generators, so nothing to see here. What Cruz does know is let them eat cake. Fuck these poor people and this freezing fucking cold. I'm a gosh darn senator. Let's jet outa this shit and let the poor plebs suffer this third world country bullshit while we have third world country folk bring us drinks while I mentor to my poor children who had to go without power like the rest of the welfare, healthcare wanting scum. Exactly the kind of leader you all worship, dumb as fuck and doesn't give one.
