I’ll be honest, this summer hasn’t had any rolling blackouts in North Texas. Oh, I bet it has nothing to do with the expanded wind/solar/battery farms. Can’t be the renewables!

In fairness, I don’t think you guys got hit by the hurricane quite as hard as we did.
I’m looking at it from ercot not having enough energy for demand like the last few years. Obviously, a hurricane will take down service.
