Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Rolling Power Outages in Texas

Yes. Yes it does.
Takes WAY more juice to get the house re-heated
after it's been off so long. You're the first one I've seen
online to acknowledge that fact besides myself.

Sure is a lot of electrical company employees online
that got the reda$$ that people are complaining.
One I read that has an ERCOT employee relative.
Funny thing that none can give a logical explanation
for the outages. Many say " downed lines "
It's not
Some say " equipment overload "
It's not

The power goes off and on at clock times such as
6 o'clock, 10 o'clock, 4 o'clock etc.
I've been in equipment failures and downed lines,
and reconnection isn't at precise times.

Nobody has a good answer, and you can tell who
gets a check from a power company, because their
answer sounds like it came directly out of an
employees training manual

We were out for a hour this morning, filled a bucket, and a picture with water.

,...stood on one leg, farted,...and it came back on again.

Its pretty simple. Texas relies too much on unreliable and expensive Chinese green energy Just like California. We all know the quality of Chinese manufactured products

No. Washington DC has too much control in Texas.

,...tell ya what *I* think.

You Texans fired up them windmills and sucked the jet stream down on top of all of us!

LOL, not only Texas. Reported on farcebook according to the wife, rolling blackouts in Omaha, Lincoln an Grand Island due to load on the grid.

And for those thinking natural gas is the answer, Ford shut down it’s F150 plant in Kansas due to natural gas shortages.

of course Biden had nothing to do with this

And what caused that?

A bit more than normal use due to some cool weather? Or do you think the supply of natural gas is unlimited?

I don't really know, but I suspect production is inhibited by regulation. You know...gubmint meddling. What do they touch that they don't fuck up?

And at one time natural gas was pipe to farm houses free The burn it off the oil wells

A bunch of angry Texans lit a fire under Gov. Abbott's azz, he's on the warpath to get ERCOT's scalp.

As statewide blackouts left more than 4.3 million Texans without power on Tuesday, Gov. Greg Abbott declared a new emergency item for lawmakers to tackle during this year's legislative session: reforming the state's main electric grid operator.

The Electric Reliability Council of Texas, or ERCOT, began requiring electric utilities to reduce usage through rolling power outages on Monday, as freezing temperatures and snow increased demand for power.

"The Electric Reliability Council of Texas has been anything but reliable over the past 48 hours,” Abbott said in a statement. “Far too many Texans are without power and heat for their homes as our state faces freezing temperatures and severe winter weather. This is unacceptable."

At least we shut the lights off down town in Kansas City ...

To put it in perspective, according to the Austin Statesman, 34,000 MW of generating capacity was forced off the grid on Monday, 20,000 of which was thermal (gas, coal and nuclear).

Why can’t they keep a coal plant running?

Asshats running things.

Found out this afternoon my Daughter's house has not had any power since Sunday.

Don't care who you voted for or what party you like that crap is just wrong.

The folks in charge of this need to be whipped.

Come on gentleman we can just use all of the methane from the cows owned by them black farmers!
