GOA: Texas Constitutional Carry Will End 150 Years of Gun Control Tyranny - The Truth About Guns

Yup. Why do all the heavy lifting fixing Texas's unreliable power grid? Better to go for this kind of foolish legislations. Texans don't deserve any better.

Texas power grid needs a small fix for the rarest of rare extreme cold weather. What failed Texas? Solar and Wind that completely failed the state by a rate of about 90%.........

Winterize the coal and natural gas plants, replace the solar and wind stupidity with coal, natural gas and nuclear and Texas is golden.

I love this regurgitation of right-wing nut case talking points. What's next? AOC personally came to Texas to sabotage your grid? LOL

No wonder Texans are in this mess. They are gullible enough to believe everything that their right-wing leaders put out.

Quit lying, ok? You can't just pull bogus "facts" out of your ass and expect anyone to take you seriously.

"Perhaps the most straightforward view of what transpired is given by the chart below. It shows the change in power output by fuel in Texas between January 18th and February 17th. Not only did coal and gas power hold up better than wind, which fell by over 90%, but gas turbine generators increased output by a massive 450%, nearly making up for the shortfall in wind. But this proved to be not enough to cover surging power demand brought on by the Arctic blast. It takes chutzpah to assert that because gas, coal and nuclear power did not operate at 100% of expected potential, they “failed” even though wind failed by nearly 100%."

Total Fail: Wind & Solar ‘Powered’ Texans Left Reliant on Diesel Generators.

Really? This is your source? A site that openly lists its hatred for the wind industry? And not just that, they are from Australia - not even from the US, let alone Texas and you want me to accept the claim? And you numbnuts wonder why the world laughs at you.

From your linked site - About page:
We started as a kitchen table group of citizens concerned about what is happening across rural and regional Australia, by the harm being done by the wind industry, in partnership with governments.

Since we began in December 2012, we have added to our concerns the economic and social harm caused by rocketing power prices and unreliable power supplies, the product of heavily subsidised and intermittent wind power: the results that have played out in Australia’s wind power capital, South Australia, will cripple that State at an economic and social level for decades to come.

So, BZZZZZ. Deep fail. Try again.

Well show me another source that states otherwise, or shut the fuck up.

I'll give you two.

The Texas Blackout Is the Story of a Disaster Foretold​

Those in charge of Texas’s deregulated power sector were warned again and again that the electric grid was vulnerable.

A wide cast of characters throughout Texas’s lightly regulated power sector appear to have failed to heed experts’ long-standing warnings, notably in the wake of a similar series of outages almost exactly a decade ago. In February 2011, an ice storm struck the state, crippling power plants and forcing rolling blackouts. After that disaster, lawmakers and regulators studied how the state’s electric and natural-gas infrastructure needed to be shored up, as in other states, to withstand punishingly deep and extended winter freezes. Key recommendations from various experts were to require winterizing of power-generating equipment and fuel-delivery infrastructure such as gas pipelines, and to provide for reserve generating capacity that would be needed when demand surged or when some providers went offline. Both moves would impose somewhat higher costs and result in marginally higher electric rates. But they might have averted the much higher costs Texans now face for business disruption, broken pipes, flooding, and spiking electric bills—not to mention human suffering and death.
...
About half the state’s wind turbines froze and shut down—though ones that were winterized have kept going in other states and in regions such as Siberia. But fossil fuel plants, natural gas–fired ones in particular, were a bigger problem, because of a failure to insulate pipes and to otherwise winterize equipment.

The Texas Freeze: Why the Power Grid Failed​

The state’s electricity system was considered a model. This week’s outages revealed shortcomings in the market structure.​

A fundamental flaw in the freewheeling Texas electricity market left millions powerless and freezing in the dark this week during a historic cold snap.
The core problem: Power providers can reap rewards by supplying electricity to Texas customers, but they aren’t required to do it and face no penalties for failing to deliver during a lengthy emergency.
That led to the fiasco that left millions of people in the nation’s second-most-populous state without power for days. A severe storm paralyzed almost every energy source, from power plants to wind turbines, because their owners hadn’t made the investments needed to produce electricity in subfreezing temperatures.

The state’s electricity system was considered a model. This week’s outages revealed shortcomings in the market structure.​

A fundamental flaw in the freewheeling Texas electricity market left millions powerless and freezing in the dark this week during a historic cold snap.
The core problem: Power providers can reap rewards by supplying electricity to Texas customers, but they aren’t required to do it and face no penalties for failing to deliver during a lengthy emergency.
That led to the fiasco that left millions of people in the nation’s second-most-populous state without power for days. A severe storm paralyzed almost every energy source, from power plants to wind turbines, because their owners hadn’t made the investments needed to produce electricity in subfreezing temperatures.

That's how you do it. If you are going to state your case, use reputable sources. Get it now? Next time think before posting. Now fk off.

Fuck off yourself. Nuclear plants for the most part stayed online during the freeze...

Nuclear power in Texas mostly stayed online during the blackouts

Gas-fired plants had a slowdown because of the greater demand for natural gas for commercial use and heating.

Aside from the utter failure of wind and solar, it was mainly the coal-fired plants that had a problem, because the feed water needed to run the facility’s steam turbine technology froze.

LOL Again with the right-wing-turd news? I give you Wall Street Journal & Texas Monthly and you pull out of your arse, Ed Morrissey's junk website? What are you going to link next - Breitfart news?

Gad, no wonder you trumpturds are the laughing stock of the world. Keep it up, turd. It is hilarious. Pathetic but hilarious.

Apparently you've made yourself a pathetic laughingstock. This thread is about the constitutional carry bill in Texas, not some pie in the sky green energy bullshit.

Trouble focusing or something? That's understandable, ADHD-boi.

Yup. Why do all the heavy lifting fixing Texas's unreliable power grid? Better to go for this kind of foolish legislations. Texans don't deserve any better.

Texas power grid needs a small fix for the rarest of rare extreme cold weather. What failed Texas? Solar and Wind that completely failed the state by a rate of about 90%.........

Winterize the coal and natural gas plants, replace the solar and wind stupidity with coal, natural gas and nuclear and Texas is golden.

I love this regurgitation of right-wing nut case talking points. What's next? AOC personally came to Texas to sabotage your grid? LOL

No wonder Texans are in this mess. They are gullible enough to believe everything that their right-wing leaders put out.

Quit lying, ok? You can't just pull bogus "facts" out of your ass and expect anyone to take you seriously.

"Perhaps the most straightforward view of what transpired is given by the chart below. It shows the change in power output by fuel in Texas between January 18th and February 17th. Not only did coal and gas power hold up better than wind, which fell by over 90%, but gas turbine generators increased output by a massive 450%, nearly making up for the shortfall in wind. But this proved to be not enough to cover surging power demand brought on by the Arctic blast. It takes chutzpah to assert that because gas, coal and nuclear power did not operate at 100% of expected potential, they “failed” even though wind failed by nearly 100%."

Total Fail: Wind & Solar ‘Powered’ Texans Left Reliant on Diesel Generators.

Really? This is your source? A site that openly lists its hatred for the wind industry? And not just that, they are from Australia - not even from the US, let alone Texas and you want me to accept the claim? And you numbnuts wonder why the world laughs at you.

From your linked site - About page:
We started as a kitchen table group of citizens concerned about what is happening across rural and regional Australia, by the harm being done by the wind industry, in partnership with governments.

Since we began in December 2012, we have added to our concerns the economic and social harm caused by rocketing power prices and unreliable power supplies, the product of heavily subsidised and intermittent wind power: the results that have played out in Australia’s wind power capital, South Australia, will cripple that State at an economic and social level for decades to come.

So, BZZZZZ. Deep fail. Try again.

Well show me another source that states otherwise, or shut the fuck up.

I'll give you two.

The Texas Blackout Is the Story of a Disaster Foretold​

Those in charge of Texas’s deregulated power sector were warned again and again that the electric grid was vulnerable.

A wide cast of characters throughout Texas’s lightly regulated power sector appear to have failed to heed experts’ long-standing warnings, notably in the wake of a similar series of outages almost exactly a decade ago. In February 2011, an ice storm struck the state, crippling power plants and forcing rolling blackouts. After that disaster, lawmakers and regulators studied how the state’s electric and natural-gas infrastructure needed to be shored up, as in other states, to withstand punishingly deep and extended winter freezes. Key recommendations from various experts were to require winterizing of power-generating equipment and fuel-delivery infrastructure such as gas pipelines, and to provide for reserve generating capacity that would be needed when demand surged or when some providers went offline. Both moves would impose somewhat higher costs and result in marginally higher electric rates. But they might have averted the much higher costs Texans now face for business disruption, broken pipes, flooding, and spiking electric bills—not to mention human suffering and death.
...
About half the state’s wind turbines froze and shut down—though ones that were winterized have kept going in other states and in regions such as Siberia. But fossil fuel plants, natural gas–fired ones in particular, were a bigger problem, because of a failure to insulate pipes and to otherwise winterize equipment.

Yep...easy fix......and then get rid of solar and wind, but stay off the national grid...
