    While much of Texas had huge demands for electric power in the severe cold wave, El Paso's less-severe cold weather didn't cause the same problem.

    On Sunday, when El Paso temperatures dropped to the teens, EPE's peak electric demand hit approximately 1,130 megawatts, reported George De La Torre, an EPE spokesman. That's on par with previous years, he said.

    That's well below this past summer's record peak electric demand of 2,173 megawatts during a July heat wave, when temperatures were well over 100 degrees.

    Many of you may recall that California was denied federal disaster aid during the wildfires last year, and Puerto Rico still hasn’t received ~$1B of federal relief promised over three years ago.

    In a sign of just how fundamental the needs are in Texas, the Federal Emergency Management Agency has sent blankets, bottled water and meals, in addition to 60 generators, to help the state power “critical infrastructure” like hospitals. FEMA will also provide the state with diesel fuel “to ensure the continued availability of backup power,” Jen Psaki, the White House press secretary, said at a briefing on Wednesday.

    Just winterize the equipment for the customers' benefit.

    Including the natural gas plants which failed harder than wind.

    Texas mayor is exactly the hero Republicans are looking for in a life-threatening crisis

    incorporates the

    core Republican themes of

    “rugged individualism”

    and the Reaganesque tradition of government distrust


    into such a pure form, that it’s not hard to see them being s ched onto banners for the next assault on the Capitol.

    “No one owes you or your family anything; nor is it the local governments responsibility to support you during trying times like this!

    Sink or swim, it’s your choice!
    Only the strong will survive and the week will perish.”

    Colorado City Mayor Tim Boyd. Actually, make that ex-Colorado City mayor, as according to KTXS, Boyd resigned from his position on Tuesday afternoon.

    Boyd posted his stirring call to arms on Facebook Tuesday morning because he said he was “frustrated” that people would call their local city government about problems such as a lack of power or water. For those people, Boyd had a perfect answer.

    “I’m sick and tired of people looking for a damn hand out!

    If you don’t have electricity you step up and come up with a game plan to keep your family warm and safe.

    If you have no water you deal with out and think outside of the box to survive and supply water to your family.”

    Boyd had a completely Fox News-worthy reason that people were so “lazy” and just sitting around being cold and thirsty.

    “This is sadly a product of a socialist government

    where they feed people to believe that the FEW work and others will become dependent for handouts.”

    Colorado city population: 2000

    His wife got fired, "at will", for Boyd's Repug principles

    Texas leaders failed to heed warnings that left the state's power grid vulnerable to winter extremes, experts say

    but they left the choice to prepare for harsh weather up to the power companies — many of which opted against the costly upgrades.

    That, plus a deregulated energy market largely isolated from the rest of the country’s power grid,

    left the state alone to deal with the crisis,

    bag Abbott stomps on his very own good 'ol boys of PUC/ERCOT

    rather than on this BigDonor financiers who run the for-profit utilities cheaply to extract investor takings.

    So today it's not the fault of windmills, and tree-hugging, socialist Green New Deal / AOC? WTF


    "This was a total failure by ERCOT," said Abbott on Tuesday.

    "These are the experts.

    These are engineers in the power industry.

    These aren't bureaucrats or whatever the case may be.

    These are specialists, and government has to rely upon on these specialists to be able to deliver in these types of situations."

    https://edition.cnn.com/2021/02/17/p...rid/index.html


    =====================

    Appointed by the Texas Governor, the three-member commission

    also regulates

    the rates and services of transmission and distribution utilities that operate where there is compe ion,

    investor-owned electric utilities where compe ion has not been chosen, and

    in bent local exchange companies that have not elected incentive regulation.

    The PUC’s mission is to “protect customers,

    foster compe ion,

    and promote high quality infrastructure.”
