Intro

Hi this is a replica of the subreddit of the same name. Small disclaimer: I never intended to be the creator or moderator here, I just was sick of waiting for someone else to do it. :)

Rules

  1. Right (or at least non-left) content only. Satire content will likely be removed
  2. Similar rules for comments. The topic is mocking right wing memes. This is NOT a space for political debate.
  3. Reposts from other sources are inevitable, however try to avoid reposting content that's already here

I'm looking at it from ercot not having enough energy for demand like the last few years. Obviously, a hurricane will take down service.

In the case of the '18 February snap-freeze, the problem was gas plant lines freezing over so they couldn't run their generators as demand peaked.

Ironically, that sky-high crisis pricing causes green energy investment to surge, as wind and solar got to ride the $3000 Mwh rates during the peak of summer while gas companies had to spend a small fortune retrofitting all their lines.
