Breaking: Winter Storm power outage map.

San Antonio’s emergency preparedness committee shows - for the first time - which parts of town lost power and for how long during the winter storm as @CPSEnergy took down certain circuits during ERCOT’s emergency requests. @TPRNews

[Deceleration @MyDeceleration]

🎏 Stopped in to talk creativity, consumption, waste, art, education, #sustainability, and more with ⁦@sparepartsSA⁩ today and found loads of #plasticsfree awareness on the walls. 🔜 Watch for our #podcast interview and video tour in coming days.

What broke down locally in #SATX leading to the freezing #blackouts? Here comes the report back from the @Ron_Nirenberg 's disaster committee tasked with researching the collapse. https://t.co/fU4FBvAQOW ... Typical #tech funkiness/delay.

[Texas Sierra Club @TexasSierraClub]

You heard right: @cpsenergy's Spruce Coal plant was the number one reason behind San Antonio's power outage during the winter storm. Shut it down! #CloseSpruce #MoveTexasBeyondCoal @BeyondCoalTexas

“This is our biggest single problem in terms of generation.” —Reed Williams, chair of ⁦@Ron_Nirenberg⁩ ‘s disaster committee just now. #climate #blackout

However, we'll have a second bite at the apple. This fall, we'll have a special legislative session for redistricting and to spend $16.7 billion of federal money from the American Rescue Plan. I want to put that $ into infrastructure, particularly our electric infrastructure.

[Erin Zwiener @ErinForYall]

Hopefully this time the Texas Senate will be onboard. Our electric grid is flying too close to the sun, and we must make concrete investments to prevent the suffering of millions of Texans. /thread

The maps show areas of the county with one of six colors coded by how long circuits went dark during the winter storm. They range from no outages to up to two and half days. @TPRNews

In its request for energy conservation for Texans now through Friday, ERCOT says “generator owners have reported approximately 11,000 MW of generation is on forced outage for repairs.”

[Deceleration @MyDeceleration]

Unless your utility has you covered, your power is really expensive right now and you prob want to cut back. Also be good not to melt down. @ERCOT_ISO

[Joey Palacios - Texas Public Radio @Joeycules]

Whenever ERCOT trends on Twitter, it's never a good thing.

[SATX Environment @satxenvironment]

⚡ERCOT is asking to conserve until Friday. ⚡

[Prof. Katharine Hayhoe @KHayhoe]

People who reject the need for climate action often say "what's the big deal-it's been warmer before." But what paleoclimate data really shows us is how truly unprecedented and alarming is this experiment we're conducting with our planet, the only home we have.

[Bexar County Greens 🌻💚 @BexarGreensTX]

We need local food producers and distributors including large corporations like Sysco, HEB, Walmart, and vendors who do business with govt entities such as ISDs to take food waste and its environmental impact seriously. Waste should not be part of their business model.

To all the frontline warriors at Line 3, keep it up! One down, but the fight continues. We stand with you! #Line3 #ClimateJustice #TreatyPeopleGathering

A number of incoming #SanAntonio councilmembers want to end utility disconnections in 2021 and shut down our coal plant by 2030. Here's a thing they need to know: They absolutely can do that. https://t.co/oCIP2o7Ld3 #ClimateAction #podcast

Here is your opportunity to have input on the City budget. In the other category, you can add things such as environment and climate action.

[Ana Sandoval @AnaSandovalSATX]

It's time to Speak Up on the 2022 Budget, District 7! We want to know what City services and programs are most important to you. Tell us by taking this quick survey. https://t.co/SHtLn8XIWa

And don't forget about the SAPOA contract, implementation of the climate action and adaption plan, the renters commission, etc!

[Bexar County Greens 🌻💚 @BexarGreensTX]

The new city council will soon start working on the city budget, bond proposals, how to spend millions in federal Covid $$, CPS wants to raise our rates! Now is the time to keep our energy up & ensure council does the people's work, not cater to special interests!
