RT by @douglewinenergy: OMG. I think Garrett is correct POTUS's team is showing him the cost of *wholesale, unfinished* gasoline, which does not include the cost of oxygenates (e.g., ethanol) and all distribution+marketing costs, and telling him this is the price of gasoline you are paying at the pump.

R to @douglewinenergy: Key insights from the episode: ✅ The ERCOT grid is built for peaks, but avg. utilization is just 53% ✅ Flexible loads could strengthen the grid by enabling longer planned maintenance of thermal power plants ✅ HB 3970 has the potential to improve large load interconnection

Texas energy consumption has increased ~20% in the last 4 years. We need more supply- *and* demand-side resources I talked with @ArushiSF about grid flexibility & how smarter planning can turn big new loads into a grid asset. Full episode: https://tinyurl.com/5xah9r94 🧵

A falsehood can travel around the world while the truth is putting its shoes on. Those still putting their shoes on are better sources than those making bold pronouncements. The blackouts in Spain were caused by many factors, not any one thing. There's still a lot we don't know.

"Defense-in-depth" helps protect Texas from a Spain-type power outage. Spain has 60 megawatts of battery energy storage systems; Texas has nearly 200x that amount (11,000). ERCOT also has been proactive on the development of fast-acting ancillary services. https://www.douglewin.com/p/besst-in-class

RT by @douglewinenergy: What's interesting about this statement is that it's not true. NatGas infrastructure is vulnerable to freezes, floods, hurricanes, droughts,.... A this very moment ~30 GW of thermal power plants are OFFLINE in ERCOT alone, a substantial fraction of which are gas.
