Prayers Requested....


Feb 16, 2021, 8:39 PM

People in Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, West Tennessee, Mizou, Sooner Land need our prayers.

Their government officials had warnings; however, they were late in preparation.

I've been keeping up through a friend in Austin. They were completely unprepared. Going to be a rough few days.

I heard on TV today that their temperatures would not be above freezing until Friday afternoon. They do need our prayers.

Just goes to prove Green Power is unreliable in White Weather. Fire works

uh, TX gets the majority of its power from natural gas


Feb 17, 2021, 11:54 AM

Natural gas has been frozen. Plus TX decided to be independent with their electricity and the Fed govt, so they can't buy electricity on the open market.

Windmills have nothing to do with their problem. Its really sad how much complete misinformation is put out these days. Its killing this country. Fox News being a large contributor to that.

Re: Prayers Requested....grid restoration drills


Feb 17, 2021, 8:46 AM

Used to work on these at a former employer. If the grid totally fails it can take several days to fully restart. Rolling blackouts arent fun but it prevents it all going down at once. A restart has to be done in a certain order w generation and subs. This is not saying they couldnt have prepared better to prevnt this. An interesting thing about Texas grid, ERCOT, is it is pretty independent. There arent aa lot of interchanges with other grids where you can import much power unless it has changed in recent years

Indeed you are right. We do need to pray for them. A nightmare for so many. May God have mercy and bring heat and power to these families.
