Hate seeing you peddle inaccurate info whilst you're on yet another tirade about people "lying." lol I believe the 25% number is all renewables. Or the discrepancy could be in their winter generating capacity from wind. Either way, I'm right. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2021/feb/17/tucker-carlson/tucker-carlson-falsely-blames-green-new-deal-wind-/ In fact, wind energy accounts for 10% of ERCOT’s winter power-generating capacity, said Daniel Cohan, an environmental engineering professor at Rice University. The rest depends primarily on thermal sources like natural gas, coal and nuclear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact the available evidence suggests that it merely means that's what the current grid is physically composed of. From your own source: So that 23% number seems very likely to be the standard percentage of power from other renewables just as I said. No evidence that it's seasonally-adjusted for winter. In fact, the actual main argument is about which source is most responsible for the outage. There, too, I seem to be more right than you. These failing sources largely included nuclear plants, coal plants and thermal energy generators. Frozen wind turbines were a factor, too, but Woodfin said wind shutdowns accounted for less than 13% of the outages. Shoulder shrug indeed. 🤷♂️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
concha Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 Andy is shucking and jiving because zulu pointed out that his 10% number was bullshit. 🤣 And after calling zulu obtuse and dishonest he comes back at zulu with numbers that still do nothing to support his 10% figure. 🤡 Bless Andy's heart.

Atticus Finch Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 zulu1128 just pulling stuff straight out of his ass crack as usual. Texas largely relies on natural gas for power. It wasn’t ready for the extreme cold. It’s estimated that about 80% of the grid’s capacity, or 67 gigawatts, could be generated by natural gas, coal and some nuclear power. Only 7% of ERCOT’s forecasted winter capacity, or 6 gigawatts, was expected to come from various wind power sources across the state. Still zero evidence for his claim that current means seasonally-adjusted. Meanwhile, all the evidence is to the contrary. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he spent/spends most of his time at the gubmint unemployment office data-mining this board desperately searching for arguments to fill up his spare time, which appears to take up the bulk of his life.

concha Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 Per ERCOT, for 2020 it wind averaged 23% of the grid. And in no month did it drop below 15%. Ooops, Andy. 🤡 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
