    The green boys and their fake news.  They come here and preach that realist are on the wrong side of facts.   They preach from the Guardian or he said she said.   Monkeys!


    They claim it was conventional generation that collapsed.

    Well alarmist.

    Straight from the US Dept of Energy in response to the Texan Governer seeking urgent assistance from Biden to allow two things.  Get permission from Biden so as the state can ramp up more coal, diesel and gas generation without being penalised for exceeding it's commitment to emissions.  And second to have the US Govt foot the expense as Generation companies are now to charge an arm and a leg for people just trying to stay warm.

    In the US Gov response they acknowledge the ERCOT plea and the reason for the lack of energy.  And you guessed it.  A link straight to the ERCOT press release of WIND TURBINES had frozen and the state is in a shit  load of trouble.


    “Texas Commission on Environmental Quality has indicated that it will provide enforcement discretion to generators in the ERCOT region that may exceed state emissions requirements during emergency conditions.”

    ERCOT has been alerted that numerous generation units will be unable to operate at full capacity without violating federal air quality or other permit limitations
