NOAA’s Awful (But Predictably Warm) Winter Forecast;
Governor Windmill of Texas & His Humanitarian Crisis
[Buck Throckmorton]
Last October, the politicized frauds at NOAA issued their predictable winter forecast of an abnormally warm winter for most of the country. They do this every year. They have to –their apocalyptic climate religion requires it. From New England to Texas and throughout most of the West, it was going to be abnormally warm. Uh-huh.
NOAA’s Winter Forecast
Despite significant snowfalls as far south as Texas in January, the climate clowns doubled down – predicting that a really, really warm February would make up for their failed prophecies.
A snapshot of Midwest electricity production on February 17 shows that 55% is coming from coal while less than 3% is coming from “clean” wind and solar. The sun isn’t shining and the windmills aren’t turning. Yet our current ruling class is promising to take that coal down to 0% and replace it with wind and solar. Our country would be a frozen killing field if that plan were in place now.

Oh, this is gonna be a huge stinkbomb -- via PJ Media:
Records show the two top office holders of the 15-member board of the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), live out-of-state. Three other ERCOT board members also appear to live thousands of miles from Texas.
https://tinyurl.com/w2ccawwu
As it turns out, these board members nominate each other for the positions. Go figure.

It's not good out there. Dana in particular has generators that have no fuel because gas stations are closed, and solar backups that have no power because the cold weather has destroyed the stored power.

I dont' think that's accurate. Those pictures mainly show hotels and a few office building that im sure have their own generators, but they are shut down anyway because no water. Adler has a place in the W which probably has a generator, so who knows how he is fairing, but Hyde Park (where the idiot liberal UT professors tend to live) was without power for almost 40 hours straight.

Not only has Every Single fake global warming prediction not come true, the opposite happened.
For instance, they said we'd have more hurricanes and the hurricanes would be more intense.
Not only have we had less hurricanes since that prediction, the hurricanes have been less intense.

As of this afternoon there are no residential power outages due to lack of power generation.
If any residence doesn't have power it is due to downed power lines or the need for the power company to manually reconnect.
If you don't have power contact your local power provider.

Virtue signaling in your $100K electric Escalade that you can only drive 3 days a week because it's recharging in-between isn't attractive to the demographic that buys those vehicles.

But I'm not blind: wind and solar are not reliable, always on. Gotta have a reliable source of energy when it's frozen, cloudy, and no wind.
Generators, then. I'm looking at a wood based generator; after all, wood is a "renewable resource" so why not, right?
Thinking about putting in a wood cookstove too. At least in a barn somewhere. Makes sense to be energy independent, and solar and wind are a big part of that. Just don't be stupid about it. And yeah, probably not as cheap as hooking up to the power company... but then, I'm not hooked up to the power company.

Maybe? Downed power lines was what I was worried about, since that's a reasonable fear from an ice storm. I assume that such things did happen, but they may not have been able to tell where when the entire system was down.
I had no idea Texas was being so stupid about "renewable" energy or I would have been more prepared.

Yup. In 1994 we were living in Montana, and we basically had no summer that year. The jet stream had split, and Montana and Wyoming were in between the two streams. We got rain every day, and the temperature barely cracked 60 the whole summer. It was often mid 50s (reminded me of summer in Alaska). Went to Cody WY for the 4th of July Stampede. 53 degrees, and snow flying on the mountains west of town.
Weather is a chaotic mess.

Solar works for off grid single family living. Doesn't scale up for cities. Easy enough for me to brush off 10 or 12 panels. Not so much for hundreds of acres of panels. Wood cookstove on the back porch.

Son of Santa Anna boasted on the nameplate output of windmills knowing that those sources will never produce anywhere near its rated capacity. The backup was relatively cheap natural gas plants since almost all high demand situations where a large, fat high sits on top of Texas for the hottest part of summer also kills wind energy production, but there is no competition for natural gas to heat homes when the daily temps soar into the 100s.
What they never did anticipate is competition for the natural gas at peak demand as has happened for this once in a lifetime event.
Since Santa Anna is fully invested in his reputation of Wind Wizard, he is likely to preserve his narcissistic demands to never be wrong and double down on Unreliable energy and blame ERCOT for Santa Anna's own fuck-ups.
The response to this is, assume government will make things worse, and make sure that you have house generation and independent fuel sources. Because this will happen again this summer, and more likely in the future because government is always wrong.

Flash forward to 2015 and those bloody things are EVERYWHERE around Sweetwater. There's even a "Welcome to Sweetwater" sign printed on a windmill blade as one approaches Sweetwater from the west. Head five miles west of town, exit west on US 84 on Exit 238 towards Snyder/Lubbock and you will see LOTS of windmills, and that's only the beginning - just head north of Snyder between there and Post.
The construction predated our current idiot Governor, but I'm still not willing to excuse Mr. Abbott. I disagree with radio host Michael Berry on many things, but this morning he said "Abbott has got to go." I couldn't agree with Mr. Berry more.

Get a critical loads sub panel wired in to your house. Invest in a solid generator. Start said generator regularly. Propane lasts longer then diesel but diesel is easier to replace if you run low on fuel.
Buy some easy to prepare food and get several gallons of water every fall for emergencies. Make sure you sharpen your metal snow shovels and do the maintenance on your snow blower.

Oh, and about 20-25 years ago, met him at Ray's Boathouse in Seattle (nice restaurant on Puget Sound), waiting for a table on a busy Friday evening. He was a smug dick then, too.

The last person of "authority" I trusted was my old family doc who took care of me, my kids, my dad, extended family. I went in for something right after Obamacare passed and there was a sign tacked to the door stating he was closing up shop after ~40 years. The nicest and most compassionate - and smart - doctor I've ever had. Old school.
We sat and talked for a while, he and I. He was apoplectic about the "new rules". Last thing he said to me was, "Don't ever admit you ever smoked to any health care professional, don't ever let that be part of your permanent record. Death panels? They mean business, and you you WILL be denied care. LIE."
He musta said f*ck a half dozen times in that conversation, which I didn't know he was capable of.

TX has two nuclear plants: Cherokee Park (I think that's the name) and the South Texas NUCLEAR Project. I think we should add on some reactors at both, for both have NRC licenses to operate as it is.
And all of America's nuclear weapons are made not terribly far from me at Pantex.

I don't think you can built homes with wood stove heating any longer where I live. I'm very glad to be grandfathered in. some pellets in my wood stove, wham! - heats the whole house. I also have a propane-run backup generator. I really hate power outages!
Feel terrible for the people down South tho. Hopefully they learn the important lesson that everyone in government (exceptions prove the rule!) is an utter moron filled with evil intent.

Not a question but an airing of grievances I guess. The web display system they came up with to replace flash that was implemented, I hope at the last moment and coded by weasels, really sucks. What were they thinking? It never works well and when it works as designed it still sucks.
The non-flash stuff they had us try during flash times, worked fine. Did they just pile that all up in a field and set it on fire? Their new web maps and interface are unusable! Ok, who wants the festivus pole now?

Get a critical loads sub panel wired in to your house. Invest in a solid generator. Start said generator regularly. Propane lasts longer then diesel but diesel is easier to replace if you run low on fuel.
Buy some easy to prepare food and get several gallons of water every fall for emergencies. Make sure you sharpen your metal snow shovels and do the maintenance on your snow blower.
It really is not that big of a deal. Welcome to how most of the country lives.
Posted by: Harry Paratestes at February 18, 2021
You ain't been to rural TX or to the Panhandle, have you?
Snowblowers and snow shovels? In San Antonio, they MIGHT get used once a decade or so. It may sound shocking, but down there, it is not unusual for kids there to grow up and never seeing snow except on TV. In my case, I had to go to Germany to see my first major snowstorm. There IS a reason why things are as they are in south TX. (And yet another feather in the cap for those who support federal government.)
I agree on generators. They are a good investment.

Just posting the advice every father gives to their sons in New England when they buy their first house.
I also rarely used my metal shovels the hard plastic ones are way better at scooping snow although they dont last as long. Also do not use them to break ice. Also never buy a plastic snow shovel with the metal scraper edge. That edge will break and you will have a pointy piece of sheet metal to deal with.

Dude...something is awry there.
Blowjobs vary by locale and age of the hooker but let's say $100 is a good average.
Three date rule (you get laid on date #3) means you're going to shell out for three date activities. Again, costs for hoors vary but let's say $80/date x3.
So $240 for civilian BJ
$100 for a pro BJ
Cost difference is $140. Ish. Back of knapkin calculation. Offer and BJ not available in all areas.

Three date rule (you get laid on date #3) means you're going to shell out for three date activities. Again, costs for hoors vary but let's say $80/date x3.
So $240 for civilian BJ
$100 for a pro BJ
Cost difference is $140. Ish. Back of knapkin calculation. Offer and BJ not available in all areas.

I had a little gas powered Honda generator that I used around the property. I liked it. Pretty quiet.
But would not scale that up for a big boy job like running the house. Thing did not last forever and did not produce a lot of power.
I used an old generator that ran off diesel / #2 heating oil but it was loud and old and did not like the cut of my jib. My plan was to replace it and the boiler with propane when the time came. Ended up selling the house though.

People on Twitter have been mocking Dana Loesch for not having done proper preparation. She's been shooting back that they have a gas generator and solar panels, but the gas stations are out of gas and the solar panel batteries go bonk in the cold.
Also, to your ethanol point, that can be mitigated. The issue with ethanol is it's hydrophilic. When it soaks up water, the gas gets gummy and acidic. As long as it doesn't sit in the line or in the carburetor, you're probably fine. When you're done using the genny for the season, buy some ethanol free gas, run the thing dry, put in some ethanol free gas, then run it dry again. Viola, lines and carb are clear of gummy ethanol gas.

Yeah I have no idea where that myth came from. A normal shovel does not put a lot of strain on your back if your shoveling technique is any good. Those bent ones almost require you to use your back to shovel which is not ideal especially when dealing with wet and heavy snow

I also rarely used my metal shovels the hard plastic ones are way better at scooping snow although they dont last as long. Also do not use them to break ice. Also never buy a plastic snow shovel with the metal scraper edge. That edge will break and you will have a pointy piece of sheet metal to deal with.

Any piece of hard plastic that has a squared or beveled edge can work for scraping: have tried kitchen utensils with some success; a scrap of plexiglass; even hardwood can be better than nothing...
A solution of one part salt (even table- or kosher-) to three parts water will make a good sidewalk deicer. If there's already a bit of melt, then go ahead and just sprinkle the salt: takes a bit of water to activate the salt. Water softener salt is cheap and effective, if you have it.

One of the things I'm learning about energy for this is that solar and wind aren't bad just because they're intermittent, but also because they by their nature need to be in the elements. The same elements that can cause a need for more power.
Also, that even among gas, coal, and nuclear there is a hierarchy of resilience: coal plants usually have a month or more of reserve on hand, nuclear probably more, and gas not much at all.

And that's 25% too much.
And that is because T Boone Pickens has a throttle on the wind energy business in Texas. He reaps the Gubmint subsidies for "Kleen Energy" and installs the bird-killers by the thousands. No matter the cost when they fail or must be retired. Our Texas Interstates are clogged with these huge chunks of bird-killers being transported all over. Sad.

Texas' problem? Better get use to it.
The sun is why the earth isn't an iceball. When it provides less energy, the earth gets cooler. We're heading into a new major minimum. Look up what happened during the last one (and pay no attention to Michael Mann and his merry band of liars at NASA- and WTF does NASA have to do with "climate", anyway?)
Cold? Like I said, get use to it.
