Texas Fall/Winter thread!

Yes, but the temps weren't as low or for as long. All we got here was 11" of snow (they predicted 2-4!) and I don't recall any wide spread rolling outages, at least none around NE Dallas area.

Doesn't change that none to little of the winterization was done. El Paso had been upgrading their systems and they were able to supply electric power in this event. Also probably didn't hurt they were on the national grid, so had access to extra power when they needed.

You missed my point, The winterization wasn't seen as that important even after the 2011 storm because it was still fairly mild and no power issues.

The storm last week matched or set records going back to 1899! One of the most days below freezing at 9 days or so.

I don't believe im missing the point. The study that was done in 2011 suggested that winterization needed to be done and even outlined where the weak points were. The winterization wasn't done.

So's your gas, oil, and nuclear.

Moss, I recognize you are trying to bait me into political statements so you have an excuse to shut this thread down. I have seen you do it in enough threads that your pattern is well recognizable.

I gonna have to agree here. This was a quiet thread until our deep freeze and power failures.
hugs, Brandi

The point I'm trying to make is that all of the systems in Texas failed. Gas, oil, coal, nuclear, solar, wind. All of them. Yet several people keep coming back saying solar and wind failed, yet won't acknowledge that everything else failed as well. Since it's all within Texas, and they are for the most part on a grid by themselves, strictly to avoid being federally regulated, should they then ask for federal help with it when it fails? Yes, they should ask for disaster relief after natural disasters like hurricanes and cold snaps. And it should be given. However, it's time they come in line with everyone else and get on the grid so that we can help them and they can help us in these types of situations.

Wow... I would have thought that kind of vindictive behavior left when the new administration came in... You are Americans, you deserve the same as the rest of us.

Please .. go away.
