My son lives in Pflugerville and they lost power to their water treatment plant and have no water at all at their home. Their power company Oncor says they have no idea when they'll get the power back on at the plant.

We’re having rolling blackouts just about every hour. On for an hour then off for an hour. Feeling blessed compared to a lot of my fellow Texans.

Biggest bunch of doo doo I've ever seen. Supposed to be off like an hour at the time. Last night during the wee hours it went off and stayed until about 6 PM this evening. Stayed on for not quite 2 hours and hasn't been back yet. I've heard a lot of excuses, but no facts
If it's near freezing inside the house, and they restore power, does it not take way more power with the heat running WFO to bring it back up than if the heat is just coming on for a few minutes at a time to maintain the proper temperature? I don't see how it could be anything but

Don’t worry.....they’re just switching over to the summer blend and doing some quarterly maintenance and cleaning that requires them to shut down completely.......never mind, different thread. 😂

And don't tell me those fugkin' windmills froze because that's a bunch of horse schit. Pretty sure that journalism would be more accurate if it would say there's not enough coal or natural gas because they used to burn a lot of coal in what is now being burning natural gas and now the natural Supply and stand Across the Nation. Thank you Greenie Democrats and Obama you should gather the names of all these people in your area like this and thank them personally

Like diesel propane and natural gas as well as the farmers that burn these materials to produce food at a reasonable cost also carry on

But as a whole, a southern schit hole consumes waaaay more energy in the summer than in the winter. And everybody knew it was going to get cold this week. So how the fugk is there no power?

A whole lot of Southern Homes are electrically heated text lots of electricity to do this when it's that abnormally cold when the homes are not built for that

We are on the 12th “power on” since 2:00a.m. It’s horseschidt. Been shopping whole house generators on my phone most of the day. Learning lots. Check with the city people to make sure you can use it before you start spending money. When we had an ice storm a good while back, the line coming into the house got yanked out, and I had to have a new lead in and meter box put up. I wanted the electrician to put up a generator connection and all the required bypass stuff and the people he had to go through to get the permits and inspections and sign off and such wouldn't allow it. Said it was not in code or some something like that. Without the city inspector signing off and permits and such that means no insurance and an excuse to deny any claims etc.. Big barrel they have you over, and it's full of poop

Lmao carry on installation of keeping it there is one thing the efficiency of cooling or heating is an entirely different deal. And in case you s*** the bed it ain't just Texas with the same problem

My take on the answer I'm getting is that the power people oversold their ability to supply power with all the newly built homes in the state, and now that the finite power supply is stretched to the limit, all those extra plates they sat at the table won't all get a slice of the regular sized ham. Kinda like when they keep selling concert tickets when there's no more seats.

Which other states are having self induced rolling blackouts?

Broadcast from Austin texas. Power off and generator running. The word is that the state paid billions of tax $ to build big power plants that exported electric to the other states.80s-90s... But the cities shut them down. Lots aren't even being used now because of some al gore initiative I think. A panel of city leaders and one mentioned that they have to break the will [of the people.] 43+min. https://www.brighteon.com/cc119ac4-cf8d-417c-b610-6dcf0d74ea7c
