    National Emergency declared in Texas

    Ok, this is my last response to you because I agree with another poster in that you're clearly just going to continue to spew whatever MSNBC is telling you is wrong here. I"m willing to bet that most Houstonians that live on the north side of town around the IAH area don't have a clue that...

    National Emergency declared in Texas

    That "article" says absolutely nothing about storing gas at power plants. But I'm sure you knew that and posted it anyway thinking that who's really going to look at it right? Did you just google "gas storage" and post the first thing that shows up? WTF Natural gas storage requires a...

    I'd really like to know where you get your information. Wherever you got your last sentence from is so totally stupid it's not really funny. There is no way you can have gas storage at every power plant. It's just not physically possible no matter the economics. But really what do I know...

    National Emergency declared in Texas

    So in two posts, you've explained that ERCOT is lying, the PUCT is basically worthless, and we need to install some kind of Cadillac generation units for the last 1% of potential incidents....WHATEVER.

    National Emergency declared in Texas

    Wow would you look at that! We almost agree on something. I'll certainly give you that "green energy" didn't cause this but I would still like to know if it's part of the solution. You tried to tell me before about statistics and if 33000 MW of installed wind generation isn't enough, then how...

    National Emergency declared in Texas

    The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) manages the flow of electric power to more than 26 million Texas customers -- representing about 90 percent of the state’s electric load. As the independent system operator for the region, ERCOT schedules power on an electric grid that connects...

    National Emergency declared in Texas

    For the record, I have never said that wind generation was the cause of this problem. I have said that it doesn't appear to be an answer either. But people will be pointing fingers starting with the Texas Legislature apparently and it will be interesting to see where ERCOT places the blame.

    National Emergency declared in Texas

    Again, you appear to be trying to put words in my mouth. I never said anything about the windmills not being installed correctly. I'm sure they did the best they could but have you been to west TX in February because I have many times and it's damn cold. Again and please try to listen this...

    National Emergency declared in Texas

    I never said it was supposed to run 100% of the time. What is bothering me is that people are throwing out statistics like 21% of our generation here in Texas is wind. That's fine and true but what good is it if you can't count on it as a true resource? My point was that if we were investing...

    National Emergency declared in Texas

    Uhhh....I think what he was trying to say was that we aren't investing in NEW fossil fueled power generation and really only installing new wind/solar. It's not about starting anything up. You seem to be the one with the spin going on. And if anyone really cares, here is what ERCOT reported...

    OT: PSU fraternity system on the ropes. Down to 36 chapters from 54 not long ago. Houses being suspended and shut down by the University.

    Sweet! Lots of fun during those years. I hope to see everyone at a tailgate this year.

    oh yeah...Kim and Lauren I know well. Bradford was rush chairman when I got my bid. I bet I still have my pledge book somewhere and will now be able to put it all together!

    OT: Universal Studios Question

    We were there the first week of December and I was shocked by how crowded it was for a weekday when school was in session. We purchased the Unlimited Express Pass for the one day we were going to be at Universal and used it multiple times on the same ride and I would do it again in a heartbeat...

    OT: Pet peeve of mine: People who don't evacuate hurricane zones who then need rescuing.

    As someone who's lived in Houston for the last 24 years, I'd like to interject here and just caution all you smart guys that live in PA or Ohio or wherever that have never had to make a call to evacuate or not, that it's not always an easy call to make. My family has evacuated 3 times for...

    OT: Who was the best basketball player you've played with?

    I played in a pickup game on a playground in the Hill District against Sean Miller, Darelle Porter and 3 ham sandwiches...they destroyed us.

    Nana Asiedu

    I'm a Chi Phi and lived with Ian and Rohan for 3 years. I remember well the shock of getting the phone call soon after he had passed. Rohan was an extraordinary guy who was taken way too soon and I'm glad that they discovered the problem in Nana so his family can avoid going through what...

    Anyone grow up in or now live in a really small town?

    Woodlawn! Of course, played it many, many times. Woodlawn was like Oakmont compared to Sandy Hill which now that I think about it, was somewhere out in the sticks off Saxonburg Blvd. I think. We had a family membership at RiverForest which is where I took my lessons from Wynn Treadway. It...
