Ironic.
Solid take, per par
Ironic.
Being prepared as a MAJOR source of power when you know methane and associated structures can freeze easily under pressure and you are told this by other energy grid operators is not equivalent to your cute pictures. Part of the complex problem is clearly deregulation. When you need to make a buck, "Texas dont freeze" .
Being prepared for extreme conditions is expensive.
They had already taken the green sources out of the equation for calculating how much energy would be available. Methane, is a hydrocarbon, even though its called "natural" gas. You got to be careful with the word "green" and "natural" and "democrat/socialist" around a still Trumper.
10th largest economy in the world completely itself during above zero temperatures and begged Uncle Joe for help.
And got more from AOC.
Texas gut punched.
Humbled, regardless whether Texans actually know it or want to admit it.
No biggie big-timers set to pounce.
We'll probably just bail out the electricity providers with the rainy day fund.
Methane is natural
Yes, so is propane and gasoline.
It exists naturally in oil.
All kinds of hydrocarbons exist naturally in oil.
Oil is natural.
So you understood my statement about using certain terms around still Trumpers.
They and far left loonies already have a definition on a bunch of terms that are just wrong unless you want to completely change definitions right... NOW
Ok Bill Nye.
No one is impressed with your ciphering, Jethro.
Propane and gasoline take human intervention.
Methane is natural. Eat a bean and cheese taco. You'll release some.
Also from decaying plants. That's why some people fear thawing permafrost. Though they don't often explain the plants under the permafrost (it used to be warmer).

You mean we separate by distillation columns?
Methane is coming out of the ground, the sea floor, and billions of mammals' a-holes.
You struck a nerve.
DMC moderator of the people speaks for the people.Ok Bill Nye.

NO ONE is impressed with your emotional bond with punctuation after you get slapped around ,,,, MrS. CRutchfIEld
did i misspell Crutchfield again?
Cool. The following also come out of the ground.Methane is coming out of the ground, the sea floor, and billions of mammals' a-holes.
butane
pentane
hexane
keep going...
are all found and produced naturally in the breakdown of old plant material under high pressure.
Methane is the simplest hydrocarbon. Mammals do not produce it, the bacteria in "our" gut do.
Natural tar balls, a wide mixture of hydrocarbons, wash up on the beach all the time from natural oil seeps.
Is what it is.
Alrighty then...

"San Antonio-based financial services provider USAA reported 2,500 claims on Tuesday,
a number that soared to 10,000 claims as of Wednesday,
20,000 as of Thursday and
more than 30,000 on Friday morning —
the majority due to freezing pipes and power failures.
Bloomington, Illinois-based insurer State Farm also has received thousands of claims reporting frozen and burst water pipes from across Texas,"
I already fixed mine. Piping on water heater in attic froze.
I'm with Pedernales Electric Cooperative. They say there will be no rate changes on our bills.
Communism FTW
I'm being told there is no PVC glue to be found in San Antonio.
Got this from GVEC
The historically unprecedented state-wide freeze last week calling for the deployment of Emergency Operations to help stabilize the Texas energy grid is over, yet the repercussions are just beginning for utilities and their customers across the state in terms of the impact to their energy bills.
Obviously, there are many questions our members have due to the information you are hearing in the media. While we do not have all the answers right now, what we know is residential customers can expect an increase in their upcoming bills driven by two primary factors.
The first is through an increase of kilowatt-hour usage during last week. Freezing temperatures lingering for consecutive days caused many central heating systems to operate in emergency heat mode, utilizing heat strips for long periods of time. Multiple days of this type of energy use, compounded by the additional operational strain from rotating outages, significantly raised individual usage during this period, which will result in a higher bill.
The second element at play was pricing of wholesale power throughout the week, specifically during the Emergency Energy Alert Level 3. With ERCOT ordering rotating outages, GVEC was forced to purchase certain allocations of power at $9.00 per kilowatt-hour, up from the more traditional $0.06 per kilowatt hour. This extreme level of pricing has never happened, for the extended and continuous lengths with which we saw, in the history of the ERCOT compe ive wholesale market. Add to that a rise from around $2.00 to $180.00 per MMBtu of natural gas prices, commonly used to price electric energy products, and you have electric costs being so high that some en ies are going bankrupt and others are scrambling to ensure they have enough cash to survive.
The positive news is that due to the strong financial position GVEC has held for years, as a result of our long-term financial strategy to hedge against large market fluctuations, GVEC will not have to immediately pass the high costs experienced last week to our members. While GVEC will likely need to raise the Generation and Transmission rate, the good news is that GVEC, as a direct result of our strong financial position, has the ability to structure rate changes to help minimize the direct burden to our membership. GVEC is considering all options to design a rate that will recover the necessary costs over multiple years and lessen the overall impact to our members, as much as possible. As soon as plans are solidified, we will communicate directly with you.
As a reminder, updates are being shared on GVEC’s Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram pages as well as gvec.org.
In other words, GVEC is still trying to determine the most discreet way to screw ratepayers.
