I don’t push anything. I really don’t give a frick what people want to do but I’ll provide knowledge or clarity when needed. You should stick to your hot takes on LSU baseball on tRant.

I think most supplemental green energy sources will be highly regionalized.
Solar panels in west Texas, geothermal wells in Wyoming, hydroelectric near rivers and lakes, and wave energy near the coasts.
I guess wind mills here and there but they seem more like an eyesore than anything

This is so retarded and completely ignorant of the power grid.

It’s flawed logic at best. Energy investment money moves into the sector and that’s influenced by subsidization but that’s a complicated topic. Solar didn’t save shite but it has specific properties that do things to turn non-productive lane into productive land. Wind, nuke, hydro all have similar possibilities but it’s all dependent on resource capacity and a value prop against other useful resources. The market figures it out.

There will never be a shortage of solar power during a Texas summer. That's definitely one of the state's greatest natural resources, certainly cleaner than the state's abundant supply of fossil fuels. Just replacing oil, gas and coal with solar energy offers another benefit: it will slow the rate of warming, which is already out of hand in Texas!

You know Democrats have been rooting for a blackout just to cry about "mean republicans".

it has always been hot in TX in the late spring to early fall
In an absolute sense, yes, compared to most of the U.S., but relatively speaking, according to National Weather Service (NOAA) data, the climate of Houston has heated up SIGNIFICANTLY in the last 50 years. In the years 1970-1979, the daily averages for Houston, TX for June, July and August were 82°F, 83°F and 83°F, respectively. In the period from 2009-2022, the June-July-August daily averages have INCREASED to 84°F, 86°F and 87°F, respectively! Your looking at an increase of 3-4 degrees hotter each day during the summer months, thanks to the untold millions of ICE vehicles fouling our air with carbon emissions each day! And it will only get worse until all these polluters are replaced with electrics.

Urban development. This is intuitively understood by anyone with a grade-school understanding of science. You are a drooling moron, of course. Go look at a picture of Houston's downtown in 1970 and compare it to today, let's see if you can muster your precious few braincells in figuring out what's changed.

contrary to some of the state’s lawmakers claims that clean energy is less reliable.

Retards who wrote that don’t understand “reliability”.
Texas’ power grid woes and capacity issues are a direct result of using unreliable solar and wind. When the wind doesn’t blow and the sun isn’t shining, they don’t make net output power, but rather their own parasitic loads tax the grid even further.
The writers at the guardian must be unaware of the reasons for pairing battery energy storage with solar and wind sites. The storage needs are due to the unreliable nature of the renewables.

You were one of the people bashing Abbot and Cruz for the power grid struggles in Texas a couple years ago weren’t you? In winter weather that would have made solar generation useless?
And your brilliant input is to take half of the stable electric generation offline and replace it with power generation that a single storm outbreak over the state… similar to his year.. could decimate in hours?

That reminds me. I was so busy this year, I forgot to point out the annual shift from the fall and winter’s “it’s just weather!! It doesn’t mean anything!!” to the spring and summer’s “Oh my God!! Climate emergency!!”

Cool. I'm here in Louisiana and we don't rely on Solar and i don't think i've ever seen an article having to brag about "we haven't had blackouts yet!" *crossesfingers*

Not a whole hell of a lot does. What's your point?
The point is, when we depend on EVs to repair electric grids, how will that work? Hmmmm?
Please give details.

You're not one of those "you can't evacuate with an EV" people are you?
My MIL who can't figure out how to get her Firestick working thinks she had EVs all figured out, too.

I suspect wind produces more than solar. West Texas is just a huge wind farm now.

Don’t know about that… but we are still waiting for an explanation how we are going to generate the electricity to charge EVs once all gas vehicles are replaced. All the electric buses, cars, trucks, SUVs, and transport trucks.
You know… since California has been begging people to not charge them during high electric demand already. And they are currently a small percentage of the total vehicle population there.

Sure, but being an anti-tech weirdo isn't the answer.

No! I'm one of those people who wonder how you charge a battery when there is no electricity.
It takes trucks to bring in new poles, cable, and solar panels.

Oh. Well, that's fairly simple. Look up off-grid power.
Your mind is about to be blown.
