Wind, Solar "Saved" Texas Yesterday But At What Cost! Today Will Be Closer And Way More Expensive -- June 20, 2023

Locator: 44978ERCOT.

Yesterday: the grid held. Folks already forget that yesterday was a holiday. Today, no holiday and it's going to be worse.

Today: 

• it's going to be much closer and it's going to be four times as expensive --
• yesterday, at peak: rates of $500 / MW forecast
• today, at peak, rates of $2,500 / MW forecast 
• Texans voting for "free energy" -- wind and solar -- truly duped

 

 

Pet peeve, and almost criminal, certainly poor, if not unethical journalism:

• local weather forecasters crowing that the grid held, but failing to show "us" the cost for that "miracle," and one completely dependent on wind and sun.
