Governor: All sources of power in Texas have been compromised

[The Deadlifting Dog]

By the way...

All the energy shut down in Texas.
Why?
Because it was cold and Texas didn't winterize.

Officials for the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, which manages most of Texas’ grid, said the primary cause of the outages Tuesday appeared to be the state’s natural gas providers. Many are not designed to withstand such low temperatures on equipment or during production.

I live just east of Dallas-Fort Worth and thats simply not the case at all.

Many locales, mine included fortunately didn't face rolling blackouts or outages at all.

It all depends on where from your part of the grid is supplied. San Antonio, Houston and Austin all get a big chunk of power from the west Texas windfarms that go from abilene to the new Mexico border. Anywhere that got power from the windfarms had difficulty. Most of the ones that didn't were fine. The difficulties were mostly due to the difficulties at the windfarms. And this same stuff happens to them in the north every winter. But Texas simply isn't used to it.
And as far as snow, few counties in Texas even own snow plows. Because they haven't needed them before. The biggest problem here has been with the water.

East Texas has several coal and gas power plants. Most of them stayed on line just fine.

Some if the wind turbines around places like Amarillo were built with cold weather packages. I know, because I've erected them before. But in southern Texas, they don't.

But it's never been this cold in Texas for this long in the 25years I've lived here. This shit reminds me of a winter I spent in Elko County Nevada in the late ninetys
