I'm reminded of two ice storms. And in the dead of summer, a number of my co-workers would keep the ERCOT website up on their secondary monitors. They wanted to be the first to know when it looked like electrical demand would exceed supply.
ERCOT can hardly make a single social media post without someone blaming them for people dying during the winter blackouts.
The biggest issue is that all of the vampires that built the Enron fiasco in California are now in charge of the power grid in Texas. This will all end in tears, I can promise you.
Btw, any "emergency" created/forecasted in the Texas power grid is probably authored by the people who own the power grid. Because when panic sets in, they make 10x or 100x profit.
Please watch the "The Smartest Guys in the Room" documentary. And/or look for "Operation Death Star."
Also possibly because Texas has Tort Reform.
No.. its about digital sustainability.
Do you feel that Texas has a reliable network?
Cuz I got an ice storm to remind you of.... :)
But sure, I can see why that would figure into the equation.
