Snowpocolypse: rolling blackouts ins uted

The Texas snowpocolypse is reportedly related to current inflation and supply issues with cardboard and plastic packaging.

Complicating the situation is last winter’s deep freeze that knocked several power plants in Texas offline for days. With no power, refineries were unable to make plastics used in shipping materials. That, in turn, led manufacturers and shippers to rely more on other products—like cardboard.

“The types of materials that would be key and the raw materials that go into them—polyethylenes, polyurethanes—we’ve seen the cost of those raw materials surging to the tune of 50 percent year over year,” Vipul Shah, the chief product officer of Next Trucking, a logistics technology startup, told NBC News. “The story for packaging is the same.”


With shipping behemoths like Amazon able to secure supplies by virtue of their size and massive bankrolls, the rest of the world is facing higher prices and short supplies.

New England grid operator warns of rolling blackouts during extended cold snaps. The main issue seems to be supply/demand rather than technical reliability.

stop criticizing Republicans for killing people

Cry harder.

The party you support is thoroughly incompetent, run by the religious idiots you despise, and just as corrupt.

Deal.

By finishing touches, do they mean padding the bill?

What's your gloss, profe?

Is setting realistic expectations beforehand based on supply/demand irresponsible in your view?

Wish we'd had advance warning from Greg Abbott and Ercot, tbh. That way we could have made preparations for the gross failure of service.

The supply is much closer here, why did it fail?

[Winehole23]

And why are ratepayers bailing out the suppliers for disaster pricing?

Prove it. Again spewing lies out of your ass.

Regulatory capture in GOP government. The last Dem statewide regime was a generation ago here. And most of them were Republicans at heart. We know that because they switched parties. Rick Perry was Al Gore's campaign chair in Texas in 1988.

Texas ratepayers will fade the disaster costs to suppliers for the next 20-30 years. You're the dunce, Hemisfair.
