I've taken the subway to Jamaica 100s of times. I wouldn't say I'm terrified of it, but it definitely is scary and gives me anxiety.

If I were a 15 yo white girl, yes I'd be terrified.

There is a difference between a freak storm and something that will happen every year after year.

You know this guy has been watching Texas for the last 6 months, just waiting for a lightbulb to flicker so he could post that.

Well, it is pretty bad there now. People are without heat for hours in 10 degree weather with rolling blackouts. Spot energy prices have gone as high as $9.00/kWh compared to a typical .03. I fully expect energy suppliers to go bankrupt over this.

I'm not denying that it's bad, the point is:

a) there's a difference between a storm impacting power vs bad policy.

b) that doesn't change the fact that this tweeer, and others, were just waiting for an opportunity to rebut Cruz, and any opportunity would do.

These are not downed power lines but rather shortages. That means policy needs to be changed to avoid these issues in the future.

I've seen conflicting views on what policies are responsible for this. Do you have any thoughts as an industry insider?

The more complete reason is that solar generation in Florida will not help much in NY because it is used locally and because there isn't enough transmission capacity to get it there.

From what I’m hearing, there is plenty of transmission capacity in the US, Texas is simply not connected to the Federal power grid. Going it alone has it’s perils

If you live in Colorado City, Texas, you already have problems. Same thing for Kansas City, Missouri.

Oh please, if it was from a deranged democrat you'd have no problem with it.
