They suck. Seems to me they ought to be able to solve this problem with a little planning, forethought and investment. Heads need to roll at Erkot.

They should cut the power to AT&T stadium. That endeavor doesn’t seem all that necessary.

Both Monday and Tuesday 8 - 9 AM
Those predictions are supposed to already include curtailable loads.
Better hope there is no cloud cover in the rolling plains region tomorrow morning.
We all need to practice Whoa more.

Been talked about for a few days. Lack of wind power both mornings...guess they just had to make it official.

So, adding "Boomer" is somehow an incredible insult. MENSA candidate for sure.

My evil wood stove has it 75 in here. Cook on evil propane and have led lights. Not much I can do to conserve. Problem is all those frisco mini mansions with electric heat pumps.
Also the AT&T stadium like trapper mentioned. That’s clearly a waste.

Back up generator ready to go. ERCOT can kick rocks.
I am still looking for the perfect apron, one with reinforced knee areas would be perfect.

At least if we loose power, I can put all my refrigerator contents in my Yeti. It’s cold enough it won’t need ice.

They need to cut the power to every business/entity that didn't shut off their sprinkler system before the cold front hit. They aren't smart enough to need electricity anyway...and of course, shut off the power to Jerry World while they are at it.
