quote:The point is extremes always happen. Harvey flooded houston too and that was a clusterfrick.
In a part of the state that is used to having hurricanes.
Houston is not used to multiple consecutive days below freezing.
And I don't think people understand that what happened during Ida and how long it took for some people to get power had anything to do with bad infrastructure on a wide scale. You can't put 500kv lines underground so those towers were falling regardless. Getting power back takes time and people have recency bias. They forget how long they were out for "minor" storms.

quote:A merger between the two would require both Louisiana and New Orleans regulator approval, and it would only happen under the relinquishment of regulatory authority by New Orleans.
Entergy's press release says if they merge ENO and EL, then the city will no longer be regulators.
I think this is incorrect, and it seems like you think this is incorrect as well.

A category 4 hit and the majority of customers in NOLA and Jefferson parish were back online in 7 days or less.

NOLA already can't handle the SWB, imagine them handling the electric and gas as well

I agree Entergy has it's issues. A LOT, actually. But look at Florida after Michael. It took them 13 days to get power back to 95% and over a month for others. Ida obliterated a lot of the electrical infrastructure. The fact that MOST had power back in a week is pretty freaking impressive.
It is. Entergy has become very good at being able to mass up thousands of out of state contractors to come down and swarm the area and restore electricity.
I have no problem with them when it comes to restoration.
This isn't about Entergy's restoration performance. This is about lying about the power plant, screwing up the Superdome upgrade, the paid actor plants, the incompetent billing and customer service, the fact that electricity goes out in a stiff dew, the question about how hardened they are making the system, etc.

People are stupid. Entergy isn't exactly a sterling company, but gripes about how they handle storm restoration are monumentally stupid
Yeah, I mean, no other venue has had a blackout during the Super Bowl and Entergy gave us that, but locally, I feel like they did a good job getting power restored in the New Orleans and the surrounding area considering the damage that occured.

Why wouldn't Entergy? This would make their lives much easier.

There is a third party. Go look at the Laura/Delta/Zeta/Uri filings with the PSC.

Headed?
Apropos I suppose since The mayor behaves as third world native.

I don't think I got my point across very well. While they may not be better, they significantly larger which could allow them to do some work in the greater NOLA area with costs being absorbed by more customers, better financing, etc. But then you fricking morons would complain about Hurricane Laura costs being on your bills.
Does Entergy NO currently get any "benefit" from being a wholly owned subsidiary of Entergy corporate? If not... or if the benefits of being merged are more than they have now... then yes that is an option.

the question about how hardened they are making the system
See how is this even questionable if they are doing storm restoration correctly. I suspect it isn’t done correctly very often if ever.

quote:They didn't lie about the power plant as it relates to being able to run. They maximized the resources that they had, and you're just not well versed in what actually transpired.
This is about lying about the power plant
The paid actor shite was seriously dumb on Entergy's behalf, but the plant could've run exactly as it was promised had it made sense to run it.

I have to think the City Council and Entergy New Orleans, on a stand alone basis, create more headache for executive management compared to any benefits derived. I'm not sure what they are.

PSC should be out of the process entirely the audit should be bid, completed, and reviewed by someone other than the PSC then the same document should be released publicly and to the PSC at the same time.
