Meanwhile in reality, Texas is the leading producer of wind power in the U.S. at 33 megawatts.

And the power problems in Texas have nothing to do with alternative energy, it's because of Abbott’s refusal to mandate grid weatherization.

"So you want the fed to charge taxes on $ people don't have"

I don't get a federal income tax deduction for groceries, and that's money I no longer have. why should i get one because I choose to live in a high tax state? You use highways and rely on the US military the same way a NH resident does, but you pay less for those things because you live in CT. There's no way to defend that.

So let's be clear, you're not in favor of rich people giving money to poor people via taxes? I thought liberals were all about "spreading the wealth around".

LOL. Keep trying to state something I NEVER said.

Well, you keep saying (I think?) you have some quarrel with blue states (disproportionately made up of wealthy people) transferring money to red states (disproportionately made up of poor people).

You also have to adjust your numbers for where the biggest military bases and defense contractors are, which states have the most highways, etc...

If CT is being unfairly treated by the federal government, shouldn't our congressional delegation (100% democrats) try to fix that for us?

Most people recognize it and are willing to help the poorer states/areas. Just as you and I say thank you to someone who is helping us out/giving us something, it would be nice for those red states to show some appreciation.

can’t argue with that.

this is hilarious...how exactly would you like the red states to show their appreciation for you?

by voting for liberals.

ERCOT expects power usage will reach 77,544 megawatts on Tuesday, topping the grid's all-time high of 74,820 MW set in August 2019


July 20,2022 "When the wind ebbs, however, it’s an entirely different story. Take last week. Demand for power topped out at about 78 gigawatts. Yet, the grid operator had to beg residents and businesses to reduce power use because wind was sluggish."

LAST NOVEMBER -The line they decided to feed the Washington Post was that things could not possibly get worse for Biden. They argued that his approval rating, which had just fallen to a record low of 42 percent while his disapproval rating hovered around 52.7 percent, had nowhere to go but up.

People “who spoke on the condition of anonymity to share private conversions” told the Post that “many administration officials and allies contend that the state of affairs cannot get worse, thinking that Biden and the Democrats have hit their floor in negative approval ratings.”



On Thursday, Biden hit another new low, according to RealClearPolitics, averaging 36.8 percent approval and a 57.5 percent disapproval.

Since the day Biden officials claimed the president had hit his floor, his approval rating has declined 5.2 percentage points while his disapproval rating has grown 4.8 percentage points. Biden is now more unpopular than any other American president since the end of World War II.

A New York Times/Siena poll earlier this month pinned the number at a shockingly horrible 33 percent approval and 60 percent disapproval.



I think Brandon got Covid from his approval ratings. :bl:

Gigawatts are not equal to megawatts, but global warming is due to fossil fuels

Amazing to see the GOP sheep following their orders ! The usual suspects are attacking wind again... in a Red State who wanted an independent Grid and bult the wind farms

Texas has the largest % of wind then any other state

So why would texas with all its gas and oil resources depend on wind

Because they don't depend on wind their to cheap and profit driven to build in redundancy their system

While in total denial why it's so hot worldwide to begin with and why their grid is so vulnerable to extreme weather and of course

The Texas Interconnection is maintained as a separate grid for political, rather than technical reasons,:btu:

“We [Hungarians] are not a mixed race, and we do not want to become a mixed race either”

This was Viktor Orban at Baile Tusnad just now, tearing into Western Europeans for “mixing with non-Europeans”

To all the Orban-fans out there: *this* is what you’re supporting

Orban is scheduled to be the opening speaker at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on August 4 in Dallas. Will any of the American speakers--who'll include many GOP presidential candidates--say a word objecting to this, let alone withdraw from the conference?

you say texas is too cheap and profit driven to expand its wind. you said in the same breath that they use more wind than any other state. So why aren’t you even more critical
of all the other 49 states that use wind even less than TX does? aren’t those states even more cheap and profit driven than TX?

Talk about wanting to have it both ways.

There might be 1 RINO who will do that but doubtfully more than that.

Baloney as usual
Just because you have some doesn’t make you a leader.
Texas only produces 4% of its power from renewable sources.
They have improved about 5% over the past five years.
Other states range from .75% to 100%

wdmso said texas has the most. so every other state is doing worse. but they only state he calls out, is the state that buses wind the most, because it’s texas.

makes all kinds of sense.

the recession probably in't going to help.....

guess that Taco comment didn't go over too well....

NEW LOW: Biden approval rating hits all-time low, only 19% support among Hispanics, poll shows
President Biden's approval rating hit an all-time low of 31%


should start calling him "NEW LOW" Brandon

"NEW LOW BRANDON"
"NEW LOW BRANDON"

:rotf2:

19% among hispanics.

adios, muchacho!!

the recession is SURE to help!

You really receive compensation for your skill with numbers?

Texas is a big state in size and population

It produces a lot of carbon per capita

It actually does more than most for renewables

It takes planning and intent to excel at renewables.

The future is not carbon based energy and failure to realize that puts us behind.
Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device

actually, he said TX had the largest percentage of wind if any state, not the highest absolute amount. So size has zero to do with it. he ranked percentage, not absolute production.

Any other stupidity you want to add? or are we good? sufficiently bitch slapped?

To bad Texas isn’t as redundant as. You are. Which your usual false equivalences.. ps get back to me when other states Fail like Texas grid has repeatedly.. you really should take some current history lessons .. it might help your blindness
Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device

you said TX has the highest % of wind, yet you criticized them for
not doing enough.

if you’re right that TX had the highest %, that necessarily means that CT and MA have a lower % from wind. But you won’t criticize them.

That’s some serious logic wayne.
Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device

he thinks a state that had no windmills and then adds a windmill therefore increasing it's wind production by 100% is better than one whose % increase is much lower because they have so many existing windmills...particularly if it's Texas or Florida because he hates Texas and Florida.....he's an idiot

June 7, 2022

HOUSTON — Texas leads the nation in wind power generation. It makes up about 20% of the state's energy usage.

Daniel Cohan, an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Rice University, said that's because of a major push made several years ago toward identifying competitive, renewable energy zones.


"The state got all sides together and made a plan with about $7 billion of investments in transmission lines, more than any other state was going at the time," Cohan said. "So the wind boom we've had was made possible by that foresight and innovative program."

So, how are the wind and solar farms helping to keep the lights on in Texas?

"If it hadn't been for the tremendous growth we've had, especially in solar the past few years, we would have already been experiencing rolling blackouts even with that heat wave we got in May and really can't imagine how the grid would handle this week's heat wave," Cohan said.

who is attacking wind?...I love wind and solar, I spent May off the grid...solar was my source of electricity, I'm investigating a small, portable wind turbine because wind is persistent where I go in the spring and I love being off the grid..I'd be buying the new Subaru ev this fall if it wasn't the first year for it and I'd like to see better range....probably next year.....I hope they put a wall of wind turbines around Nantucket:rotf2:

I wonder how many electric vehicles pete, wayne, gs and paul drive currently...

Take a RAV hybrid for a ride. 40+ MPG and 450mile range on mine. Good compromise until the next vehicle/ev for me.

I like that but I need a Subaru for my Bernie Sanders bumper sticker....

Don’t forget, you’ll need one of these too..

You don’t follow to well do you? you can’t understand spending money on redundancy over all isn’t the the same thing as just building some wind farms .. to bad you can’t show we’re I criticized Texas wind

It’s the Texas government blaming renewables for their grid problems not me.. like I said you’re short on history .

i was responding to him. he said TX was the leading state i. terms of percentage, then criticized TX for not doing more. Somehow, he can’t criticize the other 49 states that are behind TX.

again, that’s some serious logic. about as logical
as saying the democrats are poised to win the midterms.

You just can’t help yourself

“was responding to him. he said TX was the leading state i. terms of percentage, then criticized TX for not doing more. “

Yes Jim I criticized them to do more in redundancies in their Grid

Not that they have wind power !
Lol.



Gov. Greg Abbott and other Republicans blamed green energy for Texas’ power woes. But the state runs on fossil fuels.

Abbott said in an interview with Sean Hannity in the middle of a crisis that “the Green New Deal would be a deadly deal for the United States of America.” Ignoring that experts and officials agreed that a disruption in energy powered by fossil fuels was the biggest culprit behind Texas' outages

Republican politicians blamed wind turbines, which account for over 20 percent of the state’s electricity.


I guess this is just Republicans being Honest to their voters

And we move the goal posts yet again !

Next you’ll be complaining the Biden uses Air Force 1. So he’s a hypocrite

Which partys agenda is more in line with what americans are concerned about..

Of course you think it’s Republicans your brainwashed and gullible

House Republicans are planning to bombard Joe Biden’s administration with investigations next year, from Hunter Biden to the border to the chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.

including Democrats’ formation of the Jan. 6 select committee. But the party’s highest-profile targets are those with the potential to politically bruise the president ahead of 2024: his son’s business dealings, Afghanistan, the origins of the coronavirus,

And some conservatives in the conference are pushing for investigations into debunked 2020 election fraud claims,

If you can’t get to 60 in the Senate, you can make it a real issue … going into the next election,” he said.

Yep they are looking out for what concerns the American people..

Sounds more like a campaign Aid

And what can they pass if the can’t override. Biden’s veto. Nothing and they won’t even try . And we all know why their cowards and American 1st is just a campaign ad
