CitizenVectron Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Large amounts of generation are offline (a lot of it, natural gas), and because of Texas'..."unique" grid, power from renewables can't be sent from the west to east (nor from outside Texas to inside Texas, in great quantity). These problems will likely only grow in the coming years as climate change puts greater strain on our generation and use of power, and conservative politicians who exert local/regional control do not take adequate steps to bulk up grids (and alternate sources of power).

Air_Delivery Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 As far as I know California's problems aren't from power plants going down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The air is so hot it loses density and goes right through the blades without turning them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
