An Emergency Order from the Biden administration’s Department of Energy shows Texas energy grid operator ERCOT was instructed to stay within green energy standards by purchasing energy from outside the state at a higher cost, throttling power output throughout the state ahead of a catastrophic polar vortex. Going into effect Sunday, Feb. 14, Emergency Order 202-21-1 shows the Energy Dept. was aware of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s statewide disaster declaration and that ERCOT was readying gas utilities in preparation for a demand surge. The order shows Acting Energy Secretary David Huizenga did not waive environmental restrictions to allow for maximum energy output, instead ordering ERCOT to utilize all resources in order to stay within acceptable emissions standards – including purchasing energy from outside the state. “ERCOT anticipates that this Order may result in exceedance of emissions of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide, mercury, and carbon monoxide emissions, as well as wastewater release limits,” the order states. “To minimize adverse environmental impacts, this Order limits operation of dispatched units to the times and within the parameters determined by ERCOT for reliability purposes.” Moreover, the order instructed an “incremental amount of restricted capacity” to be sold to ERCOT at “a price no lower than $1,500/MWh,” an increase of over 6,000 percent over February 2020 prices of $18.20. On Wednesday, the Dallas Business Journal reported, “Electricity on the Texas grid has averaged about $1,137.33 per megawatt hour so far in February, up from $18.20 per megawatt hour in February 2020, according to data from the Electricity Reliability Council of Texas. That’s a jump of more than 6,000 percent.” Days later, the Public Utility Commission of Texas set prices at $9,000/MWh. The EO shows the Biden administration basically ordered ERCOT to throttle its energy output by forcing it to comply with environmental green energy standards, while knowing full well Texans could freeze to death in their homes with zero electricity as temperatures plunged into the single digits. And, herein lies the reason the media only reports on Ted Cruz’s 24 hr trip to Cancun. The administration doesn’t want the facts out there Shameful Biden was punishing Texas

From now until the day he leaves office just consider it one big participation trophy for biden and the gang. He's only been in a little over 1 month and already rates as low as Obama and Jimmy Carter. Sad time in this country. One can only hope the lefties who voted for this POS really feel the PAIN of their stupidity.

One can only hope the lefties who voted for this POS really feel the PAIN of their stupidity. They may feel the pain but they will not blame him., There are people who still think Jimmy Carter was a good president. I do think he was a good man but not a good president. There are people who think obama did a good job. He was as ineffectual a president since Jimmy Carter but he was cool in their eyes and that was enough for them.

Since yesterday we've been hit with about 12 inches or more of snow. Then by next Thursday the HIGH for the day could be -12. Normally we don't have cold like that until mid January or February. Phooey.
