If you live in Texas, get vaccinated. You can't depend on the power grid to keep your ventilator running.

I guess California does have a state of emergency in place because of risk of power failure for the heat. They are actually building gas power plants lol. I guess the rolling blackouts that California implemented in 2020 were very unpopular.

So, California recognized a problem, and implemented a solution to the problem?

As opposed to Texas, who literally had houses destroyed be freezing pipes bursting, and people freezing to death, and their response was "it's not our fault we build the house walls extra thin and don't bury our pipes!"

ATX here. I only lost power for less than an hour once this summer, and when I went to check the power outage thingy it was only my area. So it wasn't anything major like the grid failing.

that's weird, i heard so much about imminent grid failure this year due to heat
do you think the whole thing was just noise and perhaps some kind of farce?

Based on preliminary information received from generation owners, the vast majority of forced outages that occurred last week are due to equipment issues, ERCOT spokesperson Leslie Sopko said. Our Operations group is analyzing the information and will be providing a more comprehensive overview of the causes.
