In sum we'll be fine in the bulk system, but:
1) localized outages will happen
2) renewables will be great and not-great within the span of 24 hours and
3) TX natgas production is showing its winter flimsiness again
All are solvable problems for future winter storms. [END]

- LeBron James had not made his high school debut.
- Tim Duncan was the reigning NBA rookie of the year.

Thanks for the talk @clementsFERC.
And your reaction when I pointed out that @PatternEnergy Southern Cross transmission line was as old as @gmail was 💯⚡️
Hyperbolic bs from people like @RepMTG puts the U.S. behind, not ahead, and it’s most certainly NOT in the interest of the American people. #InfrastructureBill
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene: "Any Republican that votes yes to an infrastructure bill that helps Biden pass his agenda when bumbling Biden doesn't even know what he's doing, then that Republican is a traitor to our party."
Supply chains in America are mostly owned and operated by the private sector - as they should be.
But they run on public infrastructure, which is one more good reason to pass the President’s bipartisan infrastructure bill.
Just called the @Delta general contact number and the wait was 1 hour and 48 minutes. Remembered I have access to elite phone line and the wait there is … 3 hours. Can anyone at @Delta help me via DMs?!
"Something extraordinary happened last Saturday at the frigid high point of the Greenland ice sheet, two miles in the sky and more than 500 miles above the Arctic Circle: It rained for the first" time.https://t.co/1qtiWeGNoG
"Many Texans really don’t like how Gov. Greg Abbott is dealing with the fourth wave of the #COVID19 pandemic — or failing to deal with it, to be blunt," writes columnist @EricaGrieder. https://t.co/Znkms6l4Ra
This ruling does NOT address or decide whether school mandates are valid, nor does it rule against the local @AustinISD order, mine, the @AusPublicHealth or @TravisCoJudge's. While we await a final decision, we believe local rules are the rules.

Water is pouring into the halls at the Texas State Capitol, as heavy rain prompts flash flood warnings across Central Texas.

Here's a thread of things that Governor Abbott could have told lawmakers to look into this special session to strengthen the state grid and help Texans. Instead, the Governor has not included electric reliability on the special session agenda.
This is what many of us were saying: gas started failing Feb 10; power failed 5 days later (b/c of gas shortages & frozen equipment). Meanwhile the governor blamed wind. It's tiring.
Texas gov knew of gas shortages days before blackout, blamed wind anyway https://t.co/54yrFCAvxI
