We had four RBO's at LCR today. All began on the hour and lasted exactly 40 minutes each time. Patricia had none but .. was surrounded by areas with power out most of the day .. some still out.

Part of this .. is a result of about 25,000 megawatts of wind turbines, in W. Texas, being frozen up from ice storms, and non-operable. This demonstrates that reliable power generation MUST be from all available sources. Relying on Solar and Wind only is the biggest fairy tale ever.

Natural gas fired power plants .. are still the most efficient/ effective / reliable source of power we have.

Preach it!
Give me clean burn coal and NG.

Another First today. Our first rolling blackout. They finally found the switch to our neighborhood to cut the power tonight. Outside temp 10˚F. Not too bad, blackout only lasted 45 minutes. House stayed at same temp 68˚F. UPS kicked in so wifi phones and internet stayed up. Water still has good pressure.

Good evening all. 1F for the start, overcast, windy. Sky cleared quickly, windy all day, and high temp 11F. Cold water froze up at sink in Master bathroom as well as shower. Trickled hot water till cold water came back. usually it the hot water side that freezes. Kept losing power in morning about once an hour for 10 seconds or so, less often this afternoon, several people in neighborhood have it worse. Shoveled driveway and walk in -13F windchill, wore insulated boots for second time since in Texas, along with lined jeans :) rest of day napped, fed fire and puttered on computer. Pic is from yesterday, looks similar just whiter today .
