PUC ordered the ERCOT to charge $9.00 a KWh to get people to conserve.

On Monday the ERCOT was at $1.20 so the PUC ordered the price higher.

The emergency is currently over. The PUC has apparently lifted their environmental conservation tax and now ERCOT is charging $0.017 a KWh.

AOC to work at Houston Food Bank.

It appears she has national aspirations.

She said she was going to Houston because the food bank there feeds (illegal) immigrants.

[flechero]

Doesn't her local food bank do the same in her leftist home district?? She could and SHOULD serve there.

The power losses are due to a variety of factors, not only wind/solar failures. Gas & coal plants also had problems.

By Wednesday, 46,000 megawatts of power were offline statewide — 28,000 from natural gas, coal and nuclear plants and 18,000 from wind and solar, according to the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, which operates the state’s power grid." AP

Grid failures are cascading events, such as this one in which a tree branch in Ohio triggered a blackout that affected seven states and one Canadian province.

The fact that both wind and fossil fuel generation failed does not mean that they are equally unreliable.

It's probably more accurate to say that grid failures CAN be cascading events. The article above says the real cause was a software bug that prevented operators from knowing they needed to redistribute the load.

It's probably more accurate to say that grid failures CAN be cascading events. The article above says the real cause was a software bug that prevented operators from knowing they needed to redistribute the load.

The failure in the article WAS a cascading event. The cause was indeed a software failure, that was triggered by a tree branch. That does not change the fact that the event was a cascading event.

The blackout's proximate cause was a software bug in the alarm system at the control room of FirstEnergy, an Akron, Ohio–based company, which rendered operators unaware of the need to redistribute load after overloaded transmission lines drooped into foliage. What should have been a manageable local blackout cascaded into the collapse of much of the Northeast regional electricity distribution system.

AOC sends political donations to her Democratic Representatives to help them in their reelection. Many now are not sure what to do. If they keep it, it will be an attack ad from the Republicans. If they return it, it may still end up in the election contribution records, so it still could be a Republican attack ad.

Demands reparations for families separated at the border by Trump.

Does not come to border and cry about Xiden children in cages.

Read the whole thing or skip to the bottom. It is really scary.

Criticize AOC at your peril. Police show up at his door.

AOC gives Xiden a thumbs up for his first 100 days.

Progressives are very happy with him.

I would expect so, he has checked all the boxes for them.

The commie orcs certainly do stick together. The RINOS need to pay attention.

As I have said before, the GOP will save us.
