A gentle reminder that most nordic countries have turbines running in subzero temperatures over several months. This is a political failure, not a technical one https://twitter.com/TheStalwart/status/1361368086197243909
yo I was just tweeting into the void as usual why y'all screaming in my mentions now. shoo shoo
Oh no, now I have to deal with awful takes like those saying that now frozen Texas infrastructure shouldn't take into consideration the possibility of freezing because "uniqueness" https://twitter.com/LoneStarBarman/status/1361446717799993344?s=20
It's wild the amount of people wasting their time in my feed to inform me that Nordic countries turbines would MAYBE also have trouble is exposed to 3 months of scorching heat. Ok, but your cheap ass turbines are frozen RIGHT NOW for a few hours dip so maybe focus on that?
I can't believe this needs to be said but: My point is NOT that Nordic countries are perfect. My point is that if their turbines run for MONTHS in subzero temps and your whole gas\\wind system collapsed for a few hours dip, MAYBE your political class is failing you.
Oh no, the Mitch McConnell tribe has logged in to state that 'now it's not the time"
An update for the "Who would have thought that Texas could freeze" crowd https://twitter.com/jerryn13/status/1361453331810574336?s=20
Aaaaand it turns out, ERCO apparently thought of it. So much for the "unexpected" nature of this event https://twitter.com/EminenceUsagi/status/1361447304683806721?s=20
