Wonder how the massive wind farm in Portland, TX outside of CRP is doing.....
The Nat Gas bill in '78 gave sweeping power to the feds to regulate nat. gas. The idiot believed the lies about known reserves. Due to his legislation 10s of thousands of homes in north Texas alone built in that time frame were barred from installation of nat, gas heating, stoves and ovens.MemphisAg1 said:I bought a new house in a new subdivision near Memphis in 2005 with natural gas.richardag said:
Thank you President Jimmy Carter.
For those not old enough to remember this idiot made sure to ban construction of new homes with natural gas. So now there are tens of thousands of all electric homes throughout Texas needlessly. It was later revealed the US had 27 trillion cubic feet if known reserves of natural gas.
Another liberal who was incredibly wrong.
No ban in place then, roughly 30 years after Carter.
Your data point doesn't align with that. Why?
Silver lining? Might just be worth it.ClassicAg18 said:
Love seeing these people melt down and say we need to move to green energy RIGHT NOW. If we moved to green energy right now, they'd lose their precious social media because they wouldn't be able to charge their precious phones unless the sun was out or the wind was blowing

Hopefully it destroys the whole thing... such an eye sore in a place that already has too many eye sores ... they should ban those things
Actually, they are. From ERCOT "At the same time, we are dealing with higher-than-normal generation outages due to frozen wind turbines and limited natural gas supplies available to generating units. We are asking Texans to take some simple, safe steps to lower their energy use during this time."AggDogg61 said:
Those wind turbines must be freezing up.

Maybe put some heat strips on the windmills and a bunch of diesel generators to power them?
there goes about 25000 kW of power...jrdaustin said:
Just saw a report that half the wind turbines in West Texas are frozen and offline. The number is expected to increase dramatically.
What legislation are you referring to that barred the installation of natural gas for those homes?richardag said:

I heard on the news that parts of Houston have rolling blackouts.
Quote:
In anticipation of high heating demand in response to the extremely cold temperatures, we are asking our Texas customers to temporarily lower their thermostat settings to help conserve natural gas.
We ask you, if possible, to reduce your thermostat setting to 60-65 degrees through Thursday, Feb. 18. This step can help ensure that all customers continue to have gas service to stay safe and warm during the intensely cold weather.

Let me just compound this BS....we call in about 6:30....20 minutes later I get a call and text telling us,
CPS Energy: The power at the ******* has been restored. Text OUT if you are still without power. We apologize for any inconvenience.
4 texts later and several phone calls reporting no power.
I get it...s...y deal and the weather is what it is but don't call me to tell me my lights are on while your map says otherwise and you GD know where we live.
