Energy Prices Rising In Texas....Again17-06-2021 02:49 | |

This from Fox Business;Texas is again facing a power squeeze as the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) asked residents this week to conserve as much power as possible until Friday. Capitalism is working GREAT in Texas. More sky high energy bills be be forthcoming as a means to encourage Texans not to use the air conditioning when it's hot outside. And WOW!!! A whopping 14% of the states energy generating capacity is offline. This means the price increase for each KwH will cost more than if that capacity were online and available. Other states that are federally regulated do not have these issues. But Texans should pay for trusting capitalists who care more about their own wealth than they do about the people paying the bills. Because of what happened during the winter with cold spell, some utilities went bankrupt to protect their customers. I mean really guys, twice in 6 months Texas utilities will be price gouging consumers. p.s., Go Red means Go Republican or Go Russia! How can I tell the difference? |

At least those who control the power are able to make some money off of these mechanical issues that can't be found. Texans have spent the week keeping cool by fanning themselves and finding shade after the power grid's operator, commonly known as ERCOT, asked that they conserve energy as temperatures rise and several power plants fail. |

Texas isn't going to be the only place with power issues. The grid wasn't designed for solar panels and windmills. Load balancing is a bitch, when you can only guess at you supply side. They really can't switch solar panels in and out of the grid. But, the automated system tries to make frequent adjustments. It''s that frequent switching in, and out, of the reliable coal/gas plants, that causes them to fail quicker. Obama's roof top solar panel subsidies, was more about sabotaging the electrical grid, which needed to be totally replaced. Generated electricity is either consumed, or lost. Makes no sense to run generators at full capacity, all the time, if few people are buying/using the electricity. Solar panel and windmill generation, is never constant, at the extremes, they cause issues, which either start up gas generators, or shut them down. And a brief moment later, the reverse condition, and a new cycle. Most mechanical things don't like to start and stop rapidly, and tend to break... |

We are fortunate to have massive supplies of natural gas.A look at Western Australia LNG values Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is a significant industry for Western Australia, with production increasing substantially over several years. In 2016-17 sales volumes reached 28.7 billion tonnes generating sales of $12.7 billion. LNG accounts for 66 per cent of all Western Australian petroleum sales. LNG is currently produced from four projects in Western Australia: the North West Shelf Joint Venture project, Woodside's Pluto project (first LNG in mid-2012), the Gorgon Gas project (first LNG in 2016), and the Wheatstone project, which shipped its first LNG in October of 2017. Western Australia is also home to Shell's Prelude Floating LNG Project. Australia's LNG export volumes will be driven by increased production at Gorgon, as well as the completion of the remaining LNG projects under construction — Wheatstone, Ichthys and Prelude. These three projects will add around 21 million tonnes to Australia's LNG export capacity, bringing total nameplate capacity to around 88 million tonnes. The Alarmists still claim its all bad |

With this article, it comes from Texas via Yahoo.com. It seems that some gas suppliers voluntarily turned off processing equipment to lower demand for gas. And this in turn created a shortage. Simply put, back when it got cold in Texas, those who controlled the gas reduced supply to drive up prices. https://www.yahoo.com/news/natural-gas-companies-were-paid-215301846.html |

It seems that Europe is now experiencing what Texas has gone through. Although in this instance, Russia is the energy provider. Maybe it's a payback for sanctions because of its annexation of Crimea and the sanctions imposed on it? Might be where politicians "stuffed" it? https://oilprice.com/Energy/Natural-Gas/Two-Reasons-European-Natural-Gas-Prices-Climbed-So-High.html |

As for Texas, Poncho Villa was doing raids into the Arizona territory in the early 1900's. Arizona had yet to become a state. With Mexico, they didn't really to view lands far away from Mexico City as worth much. And with Mexico, it was settled by Spaniards mixing with the indigenous people there so borders were still to be determined. And with Texas, it actually became the Republic of Texas and was not a part of the US. They just didn't like Spanish rule. And today, Texans do not like having reasonably priced energy during extreme weather events because they value their independence. This is where pursuing cheap energy rather than affordable energy and sustainable practices can be self defeating in a way. Edited on 21-10-2021 18:33 |
