This isn’t an exact fit for the thread, but TX on the verge of some of the stupidest legislation I can recall. They basically want to scale back wind and solar, so they are proposing new fees and onerous regulations even on existing facilities.

It’s as if they didn’t realize power demand is growing and renewables in peak periods kick in 30-40%. Even though demand has grown and record summer temps because of growth of solar and now batteries the grid has held up.

So when demand is soaring they want to cut supply. What could go wrong? They say they want more natural gas but you don’t just throw up gas plants overnight and there’s a backlog demand for needed turbines.

Texas Senate passes bill requiring solar plants to provide power at night

Texas Senate passes bill to establish ‘dispatchable’ power credits trading program

I we need to invest in some generators for the coming future Republican caused power brown outs.

It’s performance art for MAGA… they have convinced themselves that renewables are woke, DEI, communist plots, so they have make sure the dirtiest forms of energy get priority… it’s how they own the libs.
