This doesn't actually mean he's associated with bad actors. Bad weather event went terrible and he was blamed, then fired. Not every fired or resigned CEO is apart of the DS
Yes it means exactly that.
People, including those in Texas Legislature, have been screaming to update and winterize Texas' power grid. [They] never did citing it too costly; i.e. less for their pockets. We've also been screaming about those f**king windmills that are an eyesore, blight on the land, an environmental hazard, and costs to build/install do not equal or exceed their lifetime power output. Again, ignored.
This Winter proved us all right, and [them] wrong. He got fired for being an incompetent POS. Hopefully there's more to come.
P.S. I live in Texas and have been fighting this for around 12 years...
Exactly. The lack of preparation in ERCOT was the key driver here, in terms of both infrastructure winterization as well as the acquisition of enough NatGas capacity. Renewables by themselves weren't the driver, but they were a factor, and there's still a huge over-reliance on them. ERCOT leadership clearly allowed short-term financial strategy to outweigh long-term risk mitigation.
Also note that ERCOT's lack of connectivity to the rest of the US grid was a factor as well. Neighboring ISO's MISO and SPP also had issues, but recovered much more quickly and could have helped share some of ERCOT's load. It's a long-standing political decision by Texas that finally came back to bite them.
PS. I'm an exec at an energy services company.
Saying you're an exec literally means nothing lmao ERCOT was denied more energy output. Also ERCOT can tell private energy companies something and that said private energy company DOESN'T have to follow anything they said. Ercot has no authority to tell companies to winterize their equipment which they sent out multiple warnings days before.
The people working at Ercot have no authority when it comes to the energy policies passed down through the government. Educate yourself more on the finer details before you play the blame game.
If you want to sell your energy on the ERCOT market, then yes, you DO have to listen to ERCOT.
I'm assuming you are one of those people trying to blame the Biden admin for limiting ERCOT's output based on environmental concerns. I have no love for China Joe, but the EO the admin published did NOT constrain ERCOT in relation to this emergency. In fact it did quite the opposite.
Stop shilling for the bad decisions made by those that manage the grid.
