You are getting a choice of who distributes the power you’re just getting a choice of who you make your payment to. Centerpoint oversees basically everything then it is brokered down to companies like reliant to collect payment.

Micro reactors are the future. You can energize a building, a block, or a facility.

I don’t think you do.
The reality is that you live in a region that will get nailed by a hurricane once every 15-20 years. That will lead to a month without power and hardships to rebuild. Accepting that fact might make it emotionally easier to live there.

You must have missed the disaster that was the Texas power grid during the ice storm. Along with people getting 8k dollar electric bills
That had nothing to do with deregulation. That was caused by the TX legislature refusing to join the national power grid because “muh states rights”

Now this I like.

I am ok with some centralization, mainly because I want nuke plants supplying our electricity. I don’t want these government forces monopolies.

In Texas the choice is not in generator, it is a choice of retailer. Only retail is open access.

It produces some. But it does produce all of the steam moved around campus that is used for heating and cooling.
It produces most of its power, but continues to keep Entergy to supplement them and that way if their equipment fails they can have Entergy as a back up.

We used to have that but Entergy bought them up. Entergy is a shitshow. They now have less lines crossing the river than they did pre Gustav.
From the damage and lack of that I saw in my trip to NOLA today, it seems that perhaps the transmission line towers were substandard to begin with or they were all hit by tornadoes

I sold a 20MW steam turbine generator to then BP and now Phillips for a cogen unit at Belle Chasse Refinery. It (1 of 2) had been used for 6 months in a waste to energy plant for NYC.

The deregulation in Texas is so that bulk purchasers from the same companies that generated power before, retail it to customers. It certainly wasn;t everyone who had giant bills, only those who bought from retailers who purchase electricity on the spot market

Wrong, there were outages as far away as Cape Girardeau, Missouri, and certainly here in Louisiana.

Dont have enough service to read the thread but this is false. If you had any idea how much power these plants need you'd realize how foolish you sound.

Follow the Florida model. Bury the fricking distribution lines. Build large scale transmission infrastructure to survive Cat 5 storms.

Doesn’t Texas have like 20 power companies and you can pick?
Posted on 9/1/21 at 7:41 pm to deltaland
Will not happen again. ERCOT will move faster to fix those generator standards than any political group.
This crazy idea that the state PSC in Louisiana and Mississippi knows what best for electricity production is just naive.
Texas has the right model. The generators pay the delivering monopoly and are free to price the consumers directly to match their production to demand on the grill. They have a lot more pull with a Center Point for example than the consumer ever will.

You are oblivious to your ignorance of the subject.
Posted on 9/1/21 at 7:53 pm to I B Freeman
I mean, are you even aware of the dramatic scene at the NOLA city council when Entergy requested permission to build the NOLA East plant?
The same one that is literally saving Orleans Parish from total blackout.
Now imagine that sort of chaos and civil uprising 100s of times over every small community in LA.
Yeah, no.
