The owner of the site is a former full professor of climate science at Georgia Tech who has left academia, probably for being a climate heretic from the perspective of many in modern climate "science".
It is a sad statement on the state of our modern overly-politicized culture that the author of this well though out and informed essay feels the need to have it posted anonymously.
Period.
The Left and its Media need to own their propaganda.
I don’t know but I know it will be put on Abbott and he is the next target of the Ministry of Truth.
Thanks you Obama and your militant EPA...
In the words of President Ronald Wilson Reagan: “....I’m from the government and I’m here to help”
Thanks for this. Anything posted at Dr. Judith Curry’s website is gold. Count on it. An eminent climate scientist, former Chair of the Earth & Envirionental Sciences Dept. at Georgia Tech with several hundred peer reviewed articles in science journals & many appearances before Congress on the subject, she very publicly broke ranks with Michael Mann 15 or so years ago. Now she’s called a “climate denier” by the a’holes in the climate crisis scam.
This is the first time in Texas history that power generation has failed. Coal never left us hanging, never.
In the past, if the power was out, it was because storms damaged lines.
This was a government power outage. And the Texas gop (Bush division) has run the state since 1995. They can point fingers, but they were enthusiastic wind advocates and gas advocates with no requirement for onsite storage like coal.

Wind and solar are worthless and unreliable. They only exist because of subsidies and the related kickbacks to government. They are incapable of competing without legislation to hamstring coal and nuclear and to subsidize themselves.
It’s a fact.
PELOSI, BIDEN, SCHUMER.
And yet here you are, tolerating our substandard comments.
this completely ignores load management and lets local emergency management officials off the hook. Large amounts of demand could have been truncated by dropping large commercial customers to bare minimum consumption. Energy to homes was being cutoff while skyscrapers and other large commercial entities were lit up like Christmas trees. A proper emergency preparedness plan would have mid to large size commercial entities have designated emergency reduced load plans in place. One call from from the County judge’s office and whoosh, 10 - 15% of the total load drops out.
Haven’t you heard? It was all Ted Cruz’ fault! At least if you believe the media.
Cold wind mills need Electricity powered heating, plus have a minimum operating temperature. See page 25 of above document.

There are two things I want from my utilities. I want, no, I demand heat on the coldest days and I demand AC on the hottest days. If Texans demand less, well then, live without heat/AC.
