Gas and Coal Outages Behind ERCOT’s Constant Calls for Conservation

Getting a bit predictable, if not tedious. Saw this news is several outlets. Only one tried to blame The Windmills. From the Austin Chronicle.

It also seems ERCOT is voting Thursday to ban storage (batteries) from the grid. My understanding is batteries are doing a good job filling in the “duck bill” that occurs when the sun goes down and wind hasn’t picked up. Seems like a naked gift to oil and gas, at the expense of everyone who uses electricity.
