Another Hurricane is headed FL's way. The GOP as a whole has stopped with the denial and instead are proposing policies that enrich or at least do not impede their oilco donors. like planting trees or putting the onus on the consumer.
By the end of October FL might be flattened.
Now $3800/MWhr at 4:00PM
Gulf stream has been diving south around MS and AL so Texas is unlikely to be hit but the east coast is going to be ed with the Atlantic at jacuzzi temps. Gulf temps mean that if one makes into the Gulf, Houston is going to get roached.
"Omega block"
...and we get another conservation alert, more or less at the last second (shortly before 5pm.)
cites declining solar power in the evening as a factor
Making my annual trek back to San Antonio next week. How acious are things looking so I can be prepared?

Tomorrow will be hotter, ERCOT says the "Weather Watch" will remain in effect.
We have a big cold front that's going to bring us down to a bit above historical average temperatures starting Tuesday. Who the knows how long it'll last, every time we get a front it seems so short lived this year. We have been going 9-12 degrees above average for a few days and will until Monday when we might hit 99 and only be 6-7 degrees above historical average for the date.

It's just hot as all day. Nights are rather nice IMO.
Wonder how much thermal energy was offline today, that's not easy to find at ercot.com.
Imagine if we had electric cars and were draining the grid during this heat wave,,,,,,
cars aren't the answer. more public transportation and trains are needed.
Imagine if we just joined the other grids and didn't have these manufactured shortages.
No no. Secede!
Like your side did after Trump whooped Clinton..."We'll resist him, his Presidency and beg his wife to forsaken him. Then we'll beat the out of Whites, not us, but the other Whites and then we'll burn the western seaboard to the ground."
Ya , you.
“Tonight, in ERCOT there was a sudden frequency drop, for reasons that are still being investigated. Industrial loads were called upon to shut down their operations and help stabilize the grid,” read a statement from the Texas Association of Manufacturers.https://www.kut.org/energy-environme...-what-happened"This is what happens when it is 97 degrees outside at ~8 pm," Michael Webber, a professor in UT Austin’s Department of Mechanical Engineering tweeted. "Demand at 8 pm this year is as high as our 5 pm peaks last year. Insane."
