Yep. Worthless POS. AbBott has called for an investigation won’t help much just one of those it will make Texas people feel like something is being done

Panhandle and a silver in ETX. Why we haven't built more NG power stations is unreal, especially in woodford shale and Ciffside field

Freaking Unreal, but they will put up turbines all over the place

Does Ercot produce electricity?

The extreme cold is increasing energy demand at the same time the storm has reduced energy generation. FEMA officials said the lower energy output is due to a variety of factors, including icing on wind turbines and heavy cloud coverage that has reduced solar power generation.

What went wrong in Texas?

The extreme cold is increasing energy demand at the same time the storm has reduced energy generation. One of the major causes for the energy shortage has been the impact on natural gas, coal, and nuclear facilities.

Dan Woodfin, a senior director for the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, told Bloomberg frozen instruments at natural gas, coal, and nuclear facilities and limited supplies of natural gas are the main reason for widespread energy shortages.

“We’ve had some issues with pretty much every kind of generating capacity in the course of this multi-day event,” he told Bloomberg.

I have a fixed rate per KWH through October.

Okay, but if the power plants can't provide the energy they are supposed to whos at fault?

[quote=TXGUNNER308]I have some friends that live in Allen off of Bethany Road...their service is TXU. They have not had any power interruption at all. Explain to me who decides on where and when shut offs occur. I'm with CoServ and my power is on for an hour and off for 30 minutes.

Well about 25 to 30 percent of our power is supplied by Wind Turbines. From the ranch I can see hundreds of them and not a one was operating and I'm hearing the same from other area's. Relying on a unreliable source is the problem and those who made that decision are at fault, in my opinion. We can easily produce more electricity than the state will ever need right here in the Permian Basin, trying to put a generation plant in is a whole different story, look how long it's been since the last refinery was built and put into operation. I wish TX would just tell the Fed's to go pound sand and do what we know needs to be done. NG fired Turbines are the way to go.

I'm with you there.

Power plants are having problems keeping up with production. They are having ice issues, but no one says chet about them.....

BIL lives in Rowlett. No elec for two days, Next door neighbor's hasn't stopped for a minute.

figure that one out.
