ERCOT Issues Conservation Appeal to Texans and Texas Businesses
With extreme hot weather driving record power demand across Texas, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) is issuing a Conservation Appeal, asking Texans and Texas businesses to voluntarily conserve electricity
There is a chart at the site - their installed capacity of wind is 35,162MW - the available power is 2,698 or about 8% Solar is doing a bit better at 81%. They need to cut the crap and build some nukes. LFTR - Thorium is the way to go...
