[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh, just saw where areas here in North Texas need to boil their water. Um, if you have no power, how do you do that🤷‍♀️[/quote]

Also they said not to run taps to keep pipes open to conserve water. (Actually, you could turn off the main then open faucets everywhere.)

There is snark about the windmills. Um, I'm in ND where a state park had an unofficial reading of -56 (56 degrees below zero, just about cold enough to store the Pfizer vaccine). They build the turbines to handle the cold, an investment not used (perhaps reasonably) in Texas.

Also, natural gas supplies ran low, resulting in low pressure resulting in condensation and frozen gas lines in places. Little Rock has been around 0 degrees.

Part of ND's grid is on the same grid as a large part of Texas, and those areas have had mandatory blackouts (I'm on the MSIS grid--I've been working in tech support for energy utilities in Texas and other regions so I've learned some things about this stuff!).

But this is NOT a smackdown of green energy no matter what the WSJ wants to say.
