Of course! It's a developed country. Look. There is even a bucket.
I guess you've been closer with your assessment than I thought ...Texas' grid failing was its own thing, but it's not like the rest of the country is in much better shape. Just less noticable usually because the grid's larger.
Texas' grid might not be federally regulated, but they have to adhere to federal emission regulations, I think. Saw something about how the texan governor asked for federal emission regulations being lifted due to the incoming emergency one week before the big ice bucket challenge, allowing more power plants to go online, but that obviously didn't work out.
Not from a bit of snow. This was the worst winter storm (in this region) in over a decade. Plumbing supplies are gone in this state. People are laser focusing in on Texas like this storm was not a big deal but it was. I am at over a week and a half with no water now because the plumbers are too backed up to get to my house to fix it.Much of the power grid was not winterized apparently and now there are rising costs due to various reasons. And all this in 2021 from a bit of snow.
All power plants that are not wind or solar are steam engines. And yes, nuclear power plants are pretty much the best solution. Small modular reactor design in a more distributed power grid would make things a lot more stable.Yeah
Cross every apendage you have for that one. From what I'm reading rejoining the national grid may help.
More nuke (ie steam engines) heh
That is the sophisticated solution that is needed.
