Fossil fuels, particularly natural gas.” “Abbott played politics with alternative sources of energy and now, thermal sources have been knocked offline,” Texas Democratic Party Chair Gilberto Hinojosa said. “If Abbott cared more about doing his job than trying to scare oil and gas workers into voting for him, Texas should have been able to avoid this crisis.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atticus Finch Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 What a predictably stupid thread. Of course ice is the reason for the power outages. Texas largely relies on natural gas for power. It wasn’t ready for the extreme cold. Failures across Texas’ natural gas operations and supply chains due to extreme temperatures are the most significant cause of the power crisis that has left millions of Texans without heat and electricity during the winter storm sweeping the U.S. From frozen natural gas wells to frozen wind turbines, all sources of power generation have faced difficulties during the winter storm. But Texans largely rely on natural gas for power and heat generation, especially during peak usage, experts said. Officials for the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, which manages most of Texas’ grid, said the primary cause of the outages Tuesday appeared to be the state’s natural gas providers. Many are not designed to withstand such low temperatures on equipment or during production. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s like 2020 +Bonus features 🙁 Hopefully this is like rock bottom and better times start arising. I can’t help but think optimistically during bad times. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
