58 people died because the guy you call president demanded Texas limit its energy production..
He should be impeached or imprisoned seriously. An 11 year old boy died due to hypothermia. Guy is a murderer!
How soon before the left starts to promote rolling blackouts as necessary for us to combat global climate change? I guarantee they will claim our living with blackouts is our duty to preserve our survival. After all, 24/7 energy is a luxury. We should do our part and just live through a few hours of no electricity.
Request from ERCOT denied.
"ERCOT requests that the Secretary issue an order immediately, effective February 14, 2021 through February 19, 2021, authorizing "the provision of additional energy from all generation units subject to emissions or other permit limits" in the ERCOT region. The generating units (Specified Resources) that this Order pertains to are listed on the Order 202-21-1 Resources List, as described below. Given the emergency nature of the expected load stress, the responsibility of ERCOT to ensure maximum reliability on its system, and the ability of ERCOT to identify and dispatch generation necessary to meet the additional load, I have determined that additional dispatch of the Specified Resources is necessary to best meet the emergency and serve the public interest for purposes of FPA section 202(c). Because the additional generation may result in a conflict with environmental standards and requirements, I am authorizing only the necessary additional generation, with reporting requirements as described below."
