    Background from last year:

    The cliff-hanging moment came around 1:50 a.m. on February 15. The transmission frequency which normally operates around 60 Hertz (Hz) dropped below 59.4 Hz for over four and a half minutes.

    Shortly before then, ERCOT began ins uting rotating outages that turned into prolonged blackouts.

    In ERCOT’s estimation, if frequency remains below that line longer than nine minutes, the volatility from its mean can rupture the alternating current (AC) connections and create very real equipment and infrastructural damage.

    There's like 50 pages of you hoping for another disaster. You thought you had one when a water pipe broke. I don't think your Beto stands much of a chance whether you get your disaster or not.

    I just follow the news.

    Abbott and the Texas lege said they had this fixed. That clearly isn't the case.

    Price of power was pegged out at the regulatory cap -- $5000/kwH -- for four hours today. That's gonna show up on a lot of power bills.

    Oklahoma prices were $108/kwH during the same period. Texas is ed up.

    the power going off when we need it the most can be life threatening, as we well know from last year. extreme heat is a killer, too.

    Weird how we're not hearing any "personal freedom" whining from GOP state reps at the requests to turn thermostats up.

    I do wonder what general TX Republicans are doing. Are they conserving energy for the greater good because Greg Abbott asked them to? Or are they still ignoring requests like this but just keeping quiet about it?

    Mostly small talk and personal gossip from red team -- anything to avoid the topic.

    How is it lying?

    Wholesale prices go up to $5,000/MWh these days.

    They're ~$110/MWh at the same time in Oklahoma.
