Slowly assembling the team that will work here. K is here, but not in my building. I and E in my building, but are each being sent to take over another one soon.

Advance teams from another agency have shown up, but they (and most of around 50 other federal agencies) are preoccupied with #Louisiana right now. And I guess parts of #Texas, #Mississippi, #Alabama as well.

So far, no familiar faces from other agencies, but I seeing people from $EMPLOYER that I haven’t seen in person since 2015, 2017, 2019.

For my #Texas friends, you know who you are (because I have no idea).

♲ @littlewhitty@twitter.com: A TX law encouraging private citizens to turn in abortion providers and anyone who helps someone get an abortion starts Sept 1. Someone already created a site for anonymous tips. It would be a shame if it became unusable because of too many false tips. 😉

Interestingly, there's a move to switch major indoor appliances (stove, furnace, water heater) from natural gas to electric. I guess the #Texas experience says that may not be a good idea.

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/texas-blackouts-wind-turbines_n_602c4e16c5b62767c0aaa263 #TX blackouts are failures of all energy sources, not just wind and solar.

Article’s point is not supported by data, neither is the pollies’ point.

According to an #NPR broadcast last night, 40% of failed generation capacity was solar and wind and 60% was gas / oil / coal / nuclear ... but renewables are less than 40% of the total capacity. That means renewable sources failed at a higher proportion than other sources.

But either way, *every* generation source had its own failures, and this doesn’t even count the inevitable downed power transmission lines due to ice.

#Texas needs to take this opportunity to focus their attention on making their generation and transmission grid more reliable in every area.

(And frankly, I think #California could also benefit from learning this and responding appropriately, as our homes are also thinly insulated, and Cal-ISO already struggles during high demand days.)

1. Why A Powerful Winter Storm Caused Blackouts In Texas
  
  from HuffPost Canada
  
  Coal, natural gas and nuclear plants ― not wind turbines ― were the main cause. But right-wing misinformation proved more reliable than the grid itself.

  By Kevin E. Noonan -- In a conundrum worthy of a law school civil procedure examination, plaintiff Gensetix found itself apparently with no remedy for infringement by Baylor College of Medicine, Diakonos Research Ltd., and William Decker of patents licensed from the University of Texas (UT), when UT refused to join as a necessary party on sovereign immunity grounds. The Federal Circuit, in a fractured decision reminiscent of the alignment of the judges in Amgen v Sandoz, remedied this situation in its decision last Friday in Gensetix, Inc. v. Board of Regents of the University of Texas System. The case...
