    Speaking of #tornadoes, I'm watching the Weather Channel in the lunch room and they are talking about severe #t-storms and possible tornadoes in #TX, #OK, #AR, #MS, #AL, #TN, #KY. These are fast movong storms, so there is no time for waiting until a storm is confirmed.

    NWS sent 20 alerts within about half an hour. See https://nu.federati.net/notice/3389312 for more details. It sounds like it could wind up being a repeat of the weather that caused the #TX power grid to fail and led to people freezing to death in their homes, mobile homes, and apartments.

      Winter weather, Winter storm, and wind chill alerts for parts of #NE, #KS, #MO, #IL, #IA. The alerts I received go right up to the state borders of #OK and #AR, so I expect there are other alerts valid for those areas. Includes snow, mixed precipitation, wind, ice, extreme cold (-30F / -34C in central Nebraska), with extreme wind chills being mostly across the Northern part of the area. #NOAA / #NWS has sent at least 20 alerts since 04:00 Eastern (03:00 Central). Weather begins this afternoon / evening and continues through Saturday, possibly into Sunday in some areas. If you're in the middle of the US, take proper care. This weather can kill, either directly or by causing traffic collisions. #winter_weather #winter_storm #wind_chill

    I was talking to one of my brothers and the subject of the #TX electrical failure came up. I said that we are too smug in #CA, when

    (1) Our homes are not heavily insulated, so if below zero temperatures came, we’d be dependent on utilities not failing.
    (2) The fires in NorCal a few years back revealed that our state Public Utilities Commission is under the control of the utility companies, just like Texas’ privately-owned grid operator. Californians generally use natural gas for heating, instead of electricity, but some of our natural gas utilities have reputations for skimping on maintenance.
    (3) Every time a power company has a “public safety power shutoff”, that’s a reminder that their lack of infrastructure investment threatens the homes and lives of Californians.

    In short, a version of that could happen in #California. I’m not saying it is likely, but remember that Texas’ experience wasn’t likely until it happened.

    https://www.huffpost.com/entry/texas-blackouts-wind-turbines_n_602c4e16c5b62767c0aaa263 #TX blackouts are failures of all energy sources, not just wind and solar.

    Article’s point is not supported by data, neither is the pollies’ point.

    According to an #NPR broadcast last night, 40% of failed generation capacity was solar and wind and 60% was gas / oil / coal / nuclear ... but renewables are less than 40% of the total capacity. That means renewable sources failed at a higher proportion than other sources.

    But either way, *every* generation source had its own failures, and this doesn’t even count the inevitable downed power transmission lines due to ice.

    #Texas needs to take this opportunity to focus their attention on making their generation and transmission grid more reliable in every area.

    (And frankly, I think #California could also benefit from learning this and responding appropriately, as our homes are also thinly insulated, and Cal-ISO already struggles during high demand days.)
