ERCOT urges users for conservation

Due to a high level of unexpected thermal generation outages and forecasted low wind generation, operating reserves for ERCOT are expected to be low in the afternoon and evening. Please help conserve electricity by reducing your consumption
How about we stop relying on unreliable sources of energy that we have no way of disposing of once the equipment stops functioning. It amazes me that even in Texas we rely so heavily on green energy that its causes us power supply issues.

No wind......................Windmills are almost 20% of texas power generation. Black outs occurred in Kingsville texas yesterday afternoon

This has happened for like that last 10 days in a row. It's fine.

That isn't why our grid is having problems.

They’re running nearly 6000Mw of reserves. They’ll be fine.
Stop talking about something you know nothing about.

The answer from the idiot left? MOAR GREEN ENERGY.
Increase windmills by 10x so the 10% (available) becomes 100% (available). As an example, say there is 100MW of wind generation but only 10MW is available due to low winds. Increase it to 1,000MW of total wind farms so we can get 100MW of generation!
Problem solved!

The fact that this country isn’t 100% nuclear is just idiotic on every single level.

Like mentioned Wind has been absolute garbage the last few days...
Here's a link to ERCOT's Grid and Market Conditions page...you can check the fuel mix to see when the grid is stressed...its due to a lack of output from "Green" energy.
NG putting in the work. Really need much more nuclear bottom line.
This is the part that pisses me off:
NG has been dogging it for the last 5-6 weeks cause Wind is operating under 10% of capacity.

1. ERCOT has issued conservation warnings repeatedly over for the past several weeks.
2. Per the San Antonio Express News, the warnings are mainly the results of failures at goal- and gas-fired plants.
But hey, never get let the facts get in the way of those anti-renewable energy arguments.

On Tuesday, outages at coal- and gas-fired power plants reduced supply for a second day after leaving slim margins to meet demand Tuesday evening. Wednesday is the second day in a row that ERCOT has asked Texans to reduce power use. It had issued conservation notices on four consecutive days ending Sunday due to record-breaking temperatures raising demand for energy.
But hey, never get let the facts get in the way of those anti-renewable energy arguments.

There is thermal supply offline today too. If you posted the entire message you would have included that. Actually, the message started by saying there is unexpected thermal outage. Instead you cherry picked part of the message to fit your propaganda.

I’ve said it before, but the only thing red about Texas is the idea of Texas. It’s about as blue as they come.

It's EPA mandated, not Texas. Remember during that great freeze and the Feds wouldn't even allow Texas to burn more fossil fuels to generate power when the green energy options were failing?

All this happens when the idiots who demanded dependency on wind and solar are pushing for EV's and all electric.
How about building some new gas plants and small modular nuclear plants.

If anything, the supplemental energy produced by windmills and solar has helped the Texas grid keep up with demand.
Stop believing nonsense you read on the internet due to whatever political tribe you follow.
