Ercot source capacity and availability chart

shite, I did my numbers even more wrong. Solar and wind were even worse than what I said.
NatGas is at >90% summer capacity, yet you’re trying to blame this blackout on that?
Wind and solar are less than 25% of summer capacity, well below max capacity. Why the hell do we want to put such a large % of our power generation into the hands of such unreliable sources again?

I don't think it's an accident that they put 84% of generating capacity near the bottom of the chart.
