Your graph shows a pretty darn big drop in supply there. You do understand that there is peak production which I assume is mainly for AC in the summer. Your average demand is a pretty meaningless number in relation to the amount of production a power company has total. Of course that peak production for high demand days can not be windpower.
Correct!!

I repeat your graph cannot be true. Thanks for answering the question how your graph shows an increase in power generation when we know that is not true.

Didn’t miss that. Didn’t miss the fact that natural gas plants ramped up in spite of being subjected to rolling blackouts. Mismanagement across the board.
You may want to look at the graph you just posted noting the day rolling blackouts started and adjust your post above.

No necessity to adjust my comments. On an anecdotal level, the only thing that kept our house warm was our natural gas fireplace. And I am going to have a “whole home” standby generator. Fueled by natural gas. No more “maybe” sources of power. Done “tilting at windmills.”

We are also considering installing a natural gas generator and a gas log/natural fireplace in our lake cottage up north. :cool:

Boil ban has been lifted. Yea! A lot of schools in the school district have damage ranging from mild to severe. I reluctantly let the water out of my bathtubs.

Such bravery in the face of danger.

Texas Governor increases the number of plumbers who can help repair winter storm damage by giving provisional permits to out-of-state plumbers and waiving some fees and examination requirements for plumbers with expired licenses

https://www.businessinsider.com/texas-is-making-it-easier-some-plumbers-work-after-storm-2021-2

Randy Calazans, an employee with One Call Plumbing, said he's been running around from one house to the next sizing up the damage. He said the damage to some homes was so bad they may need to be completely re-piped.

Freeze aftermath: Plumbing and insurance claim mistakes to avoid
Unlicensed plumbers, general contractors or DIY approaches may cause more costly damage

An unlicensed contractor or handyman also will not be on the hook.

“You have no recourse in the event that something is done improper,” Denton said.

However, the state’s registry of plumbers does not allow Texas residents to determine if a plumber is licensed but also allows customers to examine their disciplinary history.
