    Here’s what you get when two of the largest coal units near Houston go down during a heat wave, wind and solar are strong elsewhere in Texas, and there’s not enough transmission to move it here

    Since the grid isn't owned by , have you checked with the owners and those who profit from the grid. Then again, I hear it isn't the grid, but a number of generating plants are down and not supplying the grid with electricity which could cause outages.

    Texas GOP works for the wealthy, not for the people that need reliable infrastructure.

    BREAKING: ERCOT has issued a notice asking Texans to conserve power after 6 power plants went offline this afternoon! Seriously. Texas needs a new Governor!

    Oh look it's hot in Texas and we can't cool our homes. If it was cold we couldn't heat them. The grid only works at 72 degrees.

    Our aging population with breathing issues, like COPD, cannot tolerate the heat. Texans reliant on energy for life-sustaining medical devices cannot survive unplugged. “Sacrifice grandma for the economy.” It’s time to take the reins from Rs in

    Abbott had ERCOT hold this until after 5 on a Friday because he wants to bury it. He doesn't want Texans to know that he STILL can’t keep the power running in the energy capital of the world. When I’m governor, we’ll fix the grid, lower energy bills and put people over profits.

    Today's peak forecast is a mind boggling 71.9GW. Record summer peak was 74.8 (Aug19). Renewables again expected ~30GW on peak. Without & today, likely there would be outages, or we'd need 100+GW of thermal & costs would be through the roof.

    Since is trending, does anyone know who this "Gina Thomas" person with all the CEO jobs is? Is that a nickname for Virginia, you know, like Ginny or Jinny?

    Replying to @MingGao26
    ERCOT is a massive mess Still wondering, who is Gina Thomas & how does she manage to work for so many fossil fuel corps at one time? What does she do for all these corps & how much does she get paid for her 'work'? (Lots more where these came from - )

    "ERCOT asked Texans to set their thermostat at 78 degrees or higher and avoid using large appliances between 3 and 8 p.m. during the weekend." Wait. What? It is 89 degrees in Texas. If can't handle this, WTF about August? Texas is a shithole state.

    Republicans can't provide heat in the winter or air conditioning in the summer, but they can take your hard earned money and give it to their millionaire friends in the energy industry
