And their power grid that can't take the cold --- or the heat apparently.
ERCOT apparently sent out a note saying that their power little power grid was all stressed out and it'd really help if everyone turned their theromstat to the 80's.
Yea to heck with that! This guy can handle temps above 75 or below 55!
I understand that no power grid is designed to handle the load of every single electric device on the grid at once, but why tell people to turn up their thermostat and not have them save in other ways? I know heating and cooling is about 50% of power use but that leaves a lot of leeway for priorities.
Like washing and drying clothes and dishes at night while asleep.
Back in February they turned power to grandma off instead of industry. They could try that again I suppose. Maybe this time they do the opposite.
Just kidding, Texas wouldn't ever do that...some people just need to get wrecked.

I’m amazed how much power my electronics draw when they’re off. None of them individually pull much standby power, but a couple of TVs and a PC and an XBox and all the other little appliances add up quickly.
Someone in this thread has zero clue about the power grid, nor how power plants are constructed nor the Texas issue this winter with temperatures that reached record lows in spite of liberal claims of global warming.
If that person wishes to step up, I’ll be more than happy to inform and instruct.
No charge BTW.
