Off work for the Holiday but as always on call. Hoping work doesn't get too many MISO hits today on our pot lines. Nothing like a 5 minute warning to dump the power to the grid for an hour. Dropping one line shoots 100 MW out to the grid to take up for a plant going off line or peak load requirements. Makes the pots get a little angry in the cold but pays well. |
It's happening, y'all, the beginning of the end.....Houston is having rolling blackouts. Thankfully, my little burg hasn't been hit yet.
Turns out, windmills don't work when they're frozen solid. Texas leads the nation in wind energy production, and HALF our windmills are off line right now. I imagine solar isn't doing very well either, with ice and snow all over the solar panels. Hey, Jeff'79......that green energy dream ain't workin' out too good for us right now. At a time when we need reliable power the most, green energy is letting us down. Imagine how much worse it would be if we had a crapload of electric vehicles sucking electricity right now, like say, the whole US government fleet in Texas running on electricity. |
Just be glad you’re not in the path of this system.

I guess there will be people with heat guns trying to thaw out those windmills and melt the snow and ice off of solar panels. |

5 degrees here in North Texas and electricity on 30 minutes, off 30 minutes since the middle of the night. Will last until the guys with blow torches get the windmills unstuck.

Work just did a 1 hour Power outage on our potline for MISO, put 130MW to the grid. Hope some of it went to Texas.
Probably do another outage later today on another line. It will be hell trying to get the processes back in check on Tuesday. Got the Natural Gas Fireplace cooking good right now, 15 degrees and snowing like all hell here in SW Indiana. |
It's only 61 at 9:52 am. I'll have to wait another hour before i go out. :yesnod:

We've been negative for 10 days. Supposed to warm up to 19 today. Should be above freezing again by Thursday.

I still haven't lost power, but I'm on the feeder line going to the sewer plant, on the edge of town, about a mile away, so they hopefully won't shut us off. Having a "shitter's full" situation on top of everything else wouldn't be too good. |
