The Lingering Freeze: How Texas Winter Storm Blackouts Still Cost You - Cozzy Energy Solutions Texans continue to bear the financial consequences of the winter storm blackouts that occurred in 2021. The winter storm Uri, which struck Texas five years ago, resulted in numerous fatalities and left over 4.5 million residents without power for up to four days. Approximately half of the Electric Reliability Council of Texas’s (ERCOT) generating capacity

I wrote this years ago about Michigan's infrastructure. But the idea of "illusion of control" applies to many engineering problems - including the wall-gardens of most #AutonomousVehicles strategies.

Lessons also apply to #TexasBlackout...

"The natural #gas plants, in particular — failed very unexpectedly and in a very spectacular way,"

Time to go #fossilfree and back to #publicpower

If reporters don't immediately ask TX politicians at every opportunity how it feels to know that @AOC is doing more to help the #TexasBlackout than men like @tedcruz have, especially with so many excuses made on his behalf, then what even is journalism for?

Dear everyone who has defended and would re-elect @tedcruz:

You might vote him back in, but you can never get rid of the fact that @AOC did more to help Texans during the #TexasBlackout than he did.

Politics 101 - the transgression isn't what gets you, its always the prevarication & omission. #TexasBlackout twitter.com/BrendanKeefe/status/1362...

I thought #carbonmonoxide issues were more well known. Is it lack of education in not knowing grills, campfire stoves, generators and car engines use indoors or in enclosed spaces release carbon monoxide that is hazardous and deadly? #TexasBlackout #Texas #TXwx

A prescient book for now: "Shorting the Grid: The Hidden Fragility of Our Electric Grid" #TexasBlackout

@tedcruz out here blaming his kids for his trip. Guess it’s time to cut up their credit cards and drivers licenses’ 💀💀💀 #TexasFreeze #texas #TexasWinterStorm2021 #TexasBlackout

Tune in, see if anything is said. #TexasBlackout https://twitter.com/FERC/status/1362244849827794948

For the record, Texans voted for Joe Biden in pretty big numbers. We are barely a red state anymore. Purple is more fitting.

It's hard to underestimate the value of the Texas Tribune on a regular day, but I've been especially impressed with their coverage of the #TexasBlackout #ISupportTexasTribune https://trib.it/1CO (h/t @karenkho)

Hearing from friends who work at very large Dallas hospitals. It is bad, pipes burst with water leaks all over, patients displaced, staff sleeping on floors for days, equipment out of service.

This is such an incredible failure.

#TexasBlackout #AbbottFailedTexas

I wonder if people in Texas are still pro-secession in light of the #ERCOTFail while El Paso, which is not on #ERCOT, has power.

It’s all fun & games until you need federal money.

I predict a repeat 😠

"Despite the recommendations...in its report on the 1989 event, the majority of the problems...experienced in 2011 resulted from failures of the very same type of equipment that failed in the earlier event..." p.178 #TexasBlackout

I made the severe mistake of reading what some TX politicians are saying about the #TexasBlackout. It's one more nail in the coffin that proves we, as a culture, are hellbent on finding the stupidest, most myopic human beings in the nation, and electing them to office.

Nice, detailed analysis of the generation side of the current blackouts. Never thought we would have to worry about "frozen coal piles", but I guess this is a thing we gotta plan for now. #TexasBlackout @TexasTribune

Methinks TXU deregulation & ERCOT were not such great ideas for energy markets. ENRON, winter 2011 and now is kind of shouting at us. #TexasBlackout
