There are signs that Texas is turning blue at the local level so it seems Texans are slowly agreeing.
Better gerrymender it into a safe Red state quickly! Even more than it is!
Gerrymandering can’t help with Governor, Senator, or presidential elections, so voter suppression is is also needed and used!
Nothing surprises me in regard to the Deregulated Texas Oblast.
“Texas is so deregulated, it’s basically Russia” is an interesting take but I approve.
Fuck yeah! FreE MaRkeT y’all!!!
Much efficient. Such maximised benefit.
Theoretically, this kind of extreme surge pricing should help people make the decision to invest in solar panels…?
Spring? It’s May. In Texas summer starts in mid April.
Yes, and May comes after April.
So therefore the headline should say Summer and not Spring.
You think the season changes every month?
You may want to re-read the thread. I think you have mixed up something in your head.
Aren’t you the one implying they do? If April comes before May and April is the start of Summer, then May should also be Summer.
I’ve seen that one. May is a generous lover.
No “hot” starts mid April and worsens until about late September. Spring goes until June, Texas isn’t special it doesn’t get its own season exceptions.
If only a source of power was stronger with sunlight… Maybe like solar, it would be perfect for this.
Actually, that sounds like a crazy idea. Surely they’d have found a way to do this if it was possible…
Surprisingly, over 50% of energy production right now (like this minute, not a long-term average) in Texas is Solar+Wind. Nuclear is another 6%. Still means we should at least double solar+wind production, but I think storage is something that’s quite lacking currently, so as the sun set, fossil fuel use spikes up (wind is still like 40% of the power at night though).
Right, but most energy is used during the day. So “spiking up” is still a huge reduction overall.
