Listen I don’t expect any Texans to have a snow blower


Nope. But a former client and I were talking about one of his utility solar projects being zero prod because of snow and we were joking around about using leaf blowers to clear them off and I’ll be damned if they didn’t and it worked.

You need to throw natty gas up on that L board, too.


Stacking Ls.

Don’t forget about coal dumping a few thousand kWhs at about the worst moment.

And all I heard about that nuke reactor going down was a sensor. Not sure if it was weather related. Certainly couldn’t have been load related.

In truth, the issue re: electricity in America has more to do with pussies being scared of the near limitless power we could receive via nuclear power, which, as the data in Texas shows, had absolutely ZERO fluctuation due to the cold where as every other version did.

We could easily have enough electricity for everyone to run every damn appliance and light year round without issue. We could make every street be lit up in neon and flashing lights. But nuclear baddddddd



When you're right, you're right.

To go one further, if we solve the bigger nuclear problem (fusion, which I concede may not be solvable from a technical standpoint), that effectively solves the power problem, within a generation, for all humans who will ever live. And it will only get more compact, efficient and safe as we go along.

And if, within a 40 or 50 year window from now, there is virtually unlimited, virtually free electricity for almost any demand level, anywhere on the planet, forever, then whatever will we wage wars over? Religion? Beer?

No worries, thanks for clarifying.

Just wanted to add Im confident the total cost of damage to personal property (burst pipes, fires, ect) will far outweigh the cost skipped in 2011 to winterize power generation.

Michigan will never be better than anyone bc of Detroit.

We should have sold your state to Canada a long time ago. TX will figure shite out and there will be a bunch of blustering, but please don't compare MI to anything.
