B-Man Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Green energy ? What they aren't saying above. Texas Tells Consumers to Conserve Electricity as Wind Energy Falls Short by Joel B. Pollak The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) has warned power consumers in Texas to conserve energy on Monday afternoon and evening because there will not be enough wind power to operate the power grid reliably in peak demand. Though Texas is known for its role in the oil industry, it is also the nation’s number-one producer of wind energy. During a cold snap in the winter of 2021, however, wind turbines froze and many Texans found themselves without electricity. Now that scenario is likely to repeat itself, albeit due to high temperatures that are accompanied by calm conditions. ERCOT said in a statement: With extreme hot weather driving record power demand across Texas, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) is issuing a Conservation Appeal, asking Texans and Texas businesses to voluntarily conserve electricity, Monday, July 11 between 2-8 p.m. ERCOT also issued a Watch for a projected reserve capacity shortage from 2-8 p.m. At this time, no system-wide outages are expected. … Factors driving the need for this important action by customers: Record high electric demand. The heat wave that has settled on Texas and much of the central United States is driving increased electric use. Other grid operators are operating under similar conservative operations programs as ERCOT due to the heatwave. Low wind. While solar power is generally reaching near full generation capacity, wind generation is currently generating significantly less than what it historically generated in this time period. Current projections show wind generation coming in less than 10 percent of its capacity. The failure of wind power during peak demand comes as President Joe Biden and other leaders are pressing the nation to give up on fossil fuels in favor of “renewable” sources like wind and solar — and often without mentioning nuclear power. https://www.ercot.com/news/release?id=90030206-5cf5-db8e-13d1-f8fe2bd0128f https://www.caller.com/story/news/2021/09/03/texas-leads-as-national-wind-energy-capactiy-reaches-record-high/5681084001/ https://www.breitbart.com/economy/2022/07/11/texas-tells-consumers-to-conserve-electricity-as-wind-energy-falls-short/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, turbines freezing wasn't the driver of the outage in the 2021 cold snap. Plus, wind turbines can be weatherized to prevent them from freezing. Texas just didn't do that.
