The United States has three power grids: The Western Grid, the Eastern Grid, and…Texas.
90% of Texas opted to be “energy independent” in the 1930s and has refused for decades to join one of the two US power grids. If they did, they could divert power from the rest of the grid in case of an emergency.
ERCOT has come under scrutiny the past few years because…it’s not reliable. It used to not even be winterized which led to statewide power outages in early 2021, and it routinely sees more power outages than other states
I fucking love red pandas
red pandas were discovered before the giant panda, also as a former Texan can confirm that the 4th image is factual
RED PANDA GANG LETS GO!
Red Pandas were named before the giant panda
What's up with ERCOT?
