Energy Talking Points - preferences

Today's grids are being ruined by systemic preferences for unreliable electricity. Congress should end these now.

The #Texas Advisory and Notification System (#TXANS) daily for the past week: “Due to low #wind and potential low #solar generation and high demand, operating reserves for #ERCOT are expected to be low in the afternoon and evening.” https://www.ercot.com/txans
