And there is where you will have to chose to stand alone.

I get your 'No Power Outages' angle from previous Ice Storms, but 50 or 100 year storm? Nah Yea Nah, Mate. Wink

How do you get the private companies that run the power plants to winterize? Hmmmm.... I know, we will have the state pay for them so they can charge more for the power (plus a little bit more to send in the loop to campaigns).
So the state government pays them to winterize, the companies charge more for power, and the politicians get contributions to their PAC's, campaigns, etc.
All at taxpayer expense.
I love dis country!

P.S. How many insurance companies and banks are going to sue ERCOT when thousands of homes are foreclosed and condemned due to expensive water damage repairs that exceed the value of the home?

Sir, if swearing is a sign of intelligence, that makes me as dumb as a fence post. In addition, I am not certain what your service in the navy has to do with posting a woman using her middle finger. Personally, I do not much appreciation for such adolescent behavior. By the way you are incorrect, the 83 freeze was both longer in duration and intensity than the freeze of the prior week.

I don't know what you are smoking slick, but I agree that you are probably dumb as a fence post.

I don't know what the Navy has to do with a woman shooting the finger either. In fact I don't know anything about a woman shooting the finger. You must have seen that when you took a really heavy hit on the bong.

I don't care what your appreciation is for "adolescent" behavior. If you think you are going to be the PC "adolescent behavior" police on this site then I invite you to take you whole 38 posts and go play PC police somewhere else. As for me, "Karen's" like you will definitely never have any influence regarding what I post or don't post.

And you are wrong on the 83 freeze. I was in Kerrville when it happened and we had about 12 inches of snow. However it was never as cold for extended periods like it was this past week. In fact, the next day after the snow the sun was out, the temp was over 45, and the snow was melting like crazy. Not sure what you are smoking, but you need to really slow down as it is royally screwing up you memory.

Interesting article on power failure. Looks like the wind turbines freezing up caused power loss, NG was actually increased significantly but could not keep up with the power loss and tremendous increase in demand. Looks like "green" energy was really the culprit after all.

Interesting read. I was not aware Tyler Durden quit Fight Club to write blogs on energy.

The wind figures are higher then I understood them to be, but that's great. Seems like both wind and natural gas needed winterization protections, and its cool to see how gas can be ramped up quick to cover as the winds die down each night. Coal can't do that.

It says that Texas couldn't buy enough out-of-state electricity; its my understanding that ERCOT is not even stet up to import energy (to avoid regulation by not trading energy with other states).

Actually Durden runs a blog site called Zero Hedge. Most of the articles on the site are from other authors. Only a few of the articles are written by him. What is interesting to me is that we quit building NG generating plants in favor of Fed subsidized wind turbines. Turned out it bit us in the supple bum. If we had built NG plants instead of this wind turbine crap the crisis would have never occurred. We simply would have ramped up NG to meet the demand.

I bet a lot more NG plants are going to be built in Texas future.

Actually it is my understand ERCOT is hooked up to the rest of the US grid in 2 locations and can bring energy in if available. Crazy thing is Texas has more power generating capacity than any other state. Just didn't winterize and built subsidized wind turbines instead of NG generating plants.

You are crazy as a loon bud and a total embarrassment to the Navy. I still do not see why your link to a woman with a middle finger in the air is in anyway appropriate and should be banned from the site for such behavior.

As for your comment on the severity and length of the 83 storm below is a quote from the Galveston news paper in Decemeber 1983.

"Saltwater froze; on Trinity Bay, a sheet of ice 4 inches thick extended almost 500 yards from shore."

There are NO such reports from Trinity Bay as a result of this cold episode. In addition, Houston recorded 11 consecutive days of temperatures dipping below 32 degrees. Again that did not happen in this event.

The Laguna Madre froze over Christmas Day,1983. There used to be a JP here named McCoy that had been stationed in Alaska but he said the coldest he'd ever been was in Flour Bluff,Texas.

Still sucking away on that bong aren't you. Why don't you take your meds and give the world a break. I have no idea what link of a woman shooting the finger your are referring too. Now your PC police cancel culture is coming out and you start pushing banning anything or anyone you don't like. Typical proggie libturd. Take your 39 posts and you PC police mentality and ban yourself "BUD" As far as the Navy is concerned I am quite sure you NEVER raised your hand or "wrote the check". Total PC police culture attitude of take everything you can get and give back nothing. Just a typical little lib "GRAVY SUCKER". Take your PC police BS elsewhere.

Wasn't nearly as cold up here in 83 as it was last week. Perhaps the rest of Texas fared better that your area did in 83. All it takes is a couple of sunny days in the rest of Texas and everything starts to melt even with the temps below freezing.

Below is the link that you posted on Feb. 19, 2021 at 4:05 PM with the woman with the finger. I assumed that you were competent enough to read your on posts. Guess that I was mistaken.
