So, ERCOT tells people here in Tex-ass to keep their thermostats at 78 degrees this last weekend because several power plants were offline for summerization?
Can't ERCOT either get these plants to look ahead on a 10-14 day forecast to see that cooler weather might be upcoming, OR ... take into account climate change and do this earlier?
And, speaking of, ERCOT promised it would be promulgating rules on summer weatherization as well as winterization. Those rules are supposed to have been out by now. Where are they?
Strains on the Texas grid are only going to increase with increased Californication of the state. Yes, it gets hot there, but generally not humid like here. These people will be running the summer juice, and one reason they left that state is because of a failing electric system.
