So honestly, after the topic today, I was pretty heavily challenged. It made me think a lot, maybe I am wrong? But I wasn't sure, I wanted to do my research first. So I looked into the Connect the Grid Act, and it seems its main purposes are:
Connecting the Texas ercot grid to the neighboring grids, bringing it under the same oversight that those fall under for regulatory and safety purposes, and also requiring the department of energy to conduct studies on the benefits of having a direct energy connection to Mexico via ercot.
Honestly it seems like this will help with having a more reliable power supply for Texas in emergencies, but also help the surrounding regions if they're ever in trouble and need Texas's help. Also it will no doubt generate a lot of revenue for Texas. Not to mention, it will help promote renewable energy for Texas in the long run.
It's crazy, but CE actually changed my mind and really had me look into this. All I had to do was let go just a little bit of that negativity and really do my own research on the project. At this point I'm asking, why wouldn't we do it?
What's really crazy is, I was willing to vote against this simply out of fear and spite against the other side, when this could help save millions of lives from freezing to death. I guess years of Fox News and Alex Jones really take a toll, I didn't understand that before. But now, I'm ready for a change.
Wao, someone actually admitting they were wrong. Hell must be having a snow day.
