it was relayed to me from the power plant where I worked that the gas fired plants that were on when the chit hit the fan, none tripped off. however there were some that were not on or able to get on due to freezing up.


some people like silver and gold
I like brass and lead with a little powder in between

I've spent a few years working in gas fired power plants.

A friend and neighbor is a Plant Manager in one of those plants.

I will trust my experience and others that I respect, over some opinion from somone's BIL who is some kinda undisclosed Top Secret Expert on the Matters at hand. I'd bet money that such expert hasn't squeezed very many crimpers.

For the 5'th time, if I'm wrong. Correct me. I probably know who you BIL is San Antonio.

If he's your BIL, that means he's from my home town and I'd like to learn his name Sir. Chance I might know him.

Stay independent

If not, we’ll make a surplus and send it to California or some other democrat state

I’d rather piss away the extra should we get there

I'm not at liberty to discuss his identity...... lol

He has direct knowledge, and its not an option. He's been in that business for 30 years, but has never worked at a power plant. That being said if something happens he knows about it.

This is stupid. There are already three interconnections with other grids.

There are actually DC connections. 2 to Oklahoma and 2 to Mexico. The problem is you can move very little power thru
A DC connection. Then it has to go thru a transformer to change it back to AC before it can be put out on the grid.

If TX stays independent it will be easier for those that still want to succeed from the union. Either way, we will be in trouble in the future on some Homefront need if we were to join the national grids and send our ever increasing need for power elsewhere.
