電力スポット価格高騰の背景ー番外編テキサス州寒波で停電

Kenji Shiraishi @Knjshiraishi

テキサスの大停電がどうやって起きたのかをまとめた記事。大寒波により火力発電の一部設備が凍結し、電力不足に陥る。テキサスは巨大天然ガス田からパイプラインで発電所にガスを供給するが、低温に加えて電力がないため天然ガスを生産・供給できず、電力供給が更に悪化した。 texastribune.org/2021/02/16/nat…

停電が続くテキサス、報道によると大寒波のため水道が凍結して、電気のみならず水も出なくなってきたようだ。この寒さはあと数日続くようだが、死者数も徐々に増えてきており、危険。単なる寒さというより、一酸化炭素中毒等の暖を取る際のミスで亡くなっている。

Hiroyoshi Iwata @Vis_and_Ramin

"現在の停電は再生可能エネルギーとは何の関係もない。すべては凍結と暖房需要の急増により、寒冷な気候が天然ガス発電を遅らせたことに関係している。..問題は再生可能電力に関連する問題というよりも、システム全体の問題だ。" twitter.com/jptechcrunch/s…

The infrastructure failures in Texas are quite literally what happens when you *don’t* pursue a Green New Deal.

I go offline a few days and return to a GOP Gov blaming policies he hasn’t even implemented for his own failures. Gov. Abbott doesn’t seem to have a grasp on his state, so here’s a reminder: Texas runs 80-90% on fossil fuels. The real “deadly deal” is his failed leadership. twitter.com/ndrew_lawrence…

Texas Gov. Abbott blames solar and wind for the blackouts in his state and says "this shows how the Green New Deal would be a deadly deal for the United States of America" pic.twitter.com/YfVwa3YRZQ

@mehdirhasan Guess what @GovAbbott, Denmark uses wind power. Do you know how cold it gets in Denmark? reuters.com/article/us-cli…

@mehdirhasan @MargaretDudley1 @govgregabbott no one wants to hear excuses and blame. You need to talk about solutions to this blackout problem. The time to act is now. Stop could’ve, should’ve, would’ving and solve this problem for the people of Texas. This is your job.

@mehdirhasan The Texas officials - and their GOP philosophies - have failed. Example: Here's the Texas-Arkansas border. Texas didn't think snowplows were necessary, even with climate and weather models predicting the current situation. Arkansas bought the plows. pic.twitter.com/9uRZPf54Oh

@AriDrennen @freyjja5 Funny how it’s also a contrast between mostly “red” states and “blue”- but for FL and SC

Ricardo S. Lemos @RicardoLemos4

@SamKurth @mehdirhasan wind power generators in Iowa have heaters that keep the wind turbines working, here in Texas they don't, so they can blame "green electricity". By the way, the pipes carrying natural gas froze too. But fossil fuels are great per the gerrymandered tx political establishment

Sam Kurth @SamKurth

@mehdirhasan I live in Iowa, this morning it was -18° we get more power by % from wind then Texas. Cities are fine, rural areas are struggling due to max rates on wires and rural provider limits. It is extra baloney.

@mehdirhasan Totally bogus from Gov Abbott. This was foreseeable & is strictly a leadership failure. Voters need to be informed of the correct reasons for the failure.

Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan

The sheer dishonesty of these people is a sight to behold. Trump was not an aberration. And btw they hold their own voters and viewers in contempt by the peddling this nonsense to them. twitter.com/ndrew_lawrence…

The crisis in Texas right now is not an accident. This is the result of energy policy that puts corporate profits over human life — and we’re going to end that reckless greed with a Green New Deal and transformative energy policy. twitter.com/bwjones/status…

Bryan William Jones @BWJones

This is a good time to note that the electrical grid in Texas was deregulated, privatized, and removed from interconnected networks to avoid federal regulation and increase profits to a small number of wealthy individuals.

After a flash snow storm, millions across the US are stuck without power - including heating - in (potentially lethal) freezing temperatures. This is climate change in action. We need to get off of fossil fuels immediately. We need a Green New Deal. pic.twitter.com/iTZzKHaLKY

For now, the emphasis must remain on restoring power to customers and securing the reliability of the bulk-power system. New Release Link➡️ferc.gov/news-events/ne… 2/2

This whole thread is 👏👏👏 While wingnut Republicans blame wind turbines for their failure to keep Texas electrified in 2021, some of their past tweets are quite illuminating. twitter.com/blkahn/status/…
