TEXAS FAILS!

The Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) curtailed 5% of its wind generation and 9% of its solar generation in 2022.

Why?

The Republican blunderheads running the state didn't create enough energy storage capacity!

At 120F (49C) today, I bet they wish they had that energy now!

Texas curtailed 9% of solar generation in 2022

Transmission and energy storage limitations are leading to wasted renewable energy.
