ERCOT says that every summer, but also that article says there’s a “12% chance” of rolling blackouts, not that they’re planning them. Last summer was our hottest on record, as it was many places, and there were no rolling blackouts. This summer in Texas hasn’t been nearly as hot as it was last year.

Here are similar articles about pretty much everywhere else:

reuters.com/…/us-midwest-danger-rotating-power-bl…

eenews.net/…/grid-monitor-warns-of-blackout-risks…

www.nytimes.com/2021/02/…/storm-blackouts.html

Again, these outages are due to downed power lines, not ERCOT and not generating capacity. Does everyone here really not understand the difference lmao
