We have enough electricity, ERCOT just can’t get it to users

The Texas power grid operator reduced energy flowing along a key transmission line on Wednesday, exacerbating a power grid emergency.

This is a known issue that impacted the blackouts in 2021. Because of how energy is regulated in Texas there is no incentive to build new lines/increase capacity. THAT is what Gov Abbott and his cronies should have been doing these last sessions, not worrying about drag queens and putting cops in schools. And until we get the crazies out of there, this will continue and more people will die.

So please vote — and vote locally, it rolls up! And if your church tells you to vote republican, bting that up with the IRS so they will lose tax exempt status.

Thank you.
