Our power just went out and saw an article on 10/11 that they are doing rotating planned outages of 30-60 minutes (or more).

yep, grid in Texas is taxed because they can't get natural gas transported, there is ice on the wind machines and solar can't produce enough.The future is here.

hope they dont kill my power without telling me first. Not really good on electronics to just yank the power cord...Happening in Omaha too 🤬
I wouldn't count on any notificationhope they dont kill my power without telling me first. Not really good on electronics to just yank the power cord...
No warnings will be givenhope they dont kill my power without telling me first. Not really good on electronics to just yank the power cord...
Our power is back on now - it was out about 45 minutes. Apparently we were the first group the shutdown.
I just learned that one of my coworkers in Oregon has been without power since Friday!!
Dunno why they can't give a heads up that an area will be impacted for "x" number of minutes. I have no problem sacrificing my power for the good of all, just tell me when.
OPPD, LES, NPPD are all served by the Southwest Power Pool.What does Lincoln having rolling black out have to do with the storm in Texas? I thought les gets there electricity from halam? Im pretty sure western Nebraska selling electricity to California

yep, frozen wind turbines, but I heard Biden will give Texas the money to buy more electricity on the open market.. so it very well may strain other states.
just fyi, California has this problem already.. not enough electric produced by solar, wind, and whatever else they are using, and the price of their electricity is 6 times higher than the national average. Just wait until this green new deal hits your wallet.
You get Less for More, and you'll be happy about it.
I don't know. The extreme cold and extreme heat put such strain on capacity. What's the case to be made to have more capacity than you need 99% of the time? We're so used to having as much as we want, as long was we'll pay for it.The future is here.

Reliability and growth. We also wholesale energy back and forth between other states so that it's easier to account for maintenance outages.I don't know.

Texas has their own grid and will not connect to the nationwide grids. LES and Norris are predominantly powered by the SWPP, but are also connected to surrounding areas, so there are times that GGS is kicking in and even sometimes when we are buying wholesale from Iowa.What does Lincoln having rolling black out have to do with the storm in Texas?

Welcome to "renewable energy". What a joke. We're building more and more buildings and homes and buying more and more appliances and we're not building power plants to heat and cool those structures when the wind isn't blowing and it's 25 below zero. Damn we're screwed unless somebody wakes up. Maybe freezing their asses will wake up some nutjobs.yep, grid in Texas is taxed because they can't get natural gas transported, there is ice on the wind machines and solar can't produce enough.
By 2050, we absolutely should have 4 nuclear plants along the Missouri River in Nebraska alone, and dozens more up and downstream. Leave GGS alone because it's already ridiculously clean, but if the environmentalists want clean energy without having a bunch of people die, they need to give in and stop blocking nuclear power. Hallam should still be nuclear, and if it were we wouldn't be needing these rolling blackouts.Welcome to "renewable energy". What a joke.

Yeah, because rolling blackouts never existed before renewable energy sources.Welcome to "renewable energy". What a joke.

If it’s good for the us navy is should be good for everyone, the new coal fired power plants or even existing ones do hardly pollute with the filters on the chimneys natural gas is another clean burning fuel. Im not against renewable energy sources but they can’t be the leader you need a constant sourceBy 2050, we absolutely should have 4 nuclear plants along the Missouri River in Nebraska alone, and dozens more up and downstream.

IF my power gets cut off, who's the mother f******* that will be lucky enough to come thaw out my waterer's and ungell my tractor's...... just saying. I want to know who to send the bill to
The only concern I have with natural gas is that it's become basically a by-product of fracking for oil. Yeah, there's something like 80 trillion cubic feet of it that we can retrieve, but thats largely predicated on getting oil out of the ground. As we move away from oil consumption, gas production is going to go down. It's kind of a catch-22, unlike coal and nuclear.If it’s good for the us navy is should be good for everyone, the new coal fired power plants or even existing ones do hardly pollute with the filters on the chimneys natural gas is another clean burning fuel.

Unprotected plumbing because that's how you build in places like that. You don't build and insulate for 25-50 year freak occurances. Talk about a waste of BILLIONS.Yeah, because rolling blackouts never existed before renewable energy sources.
Weird how the south seems unprepared for a historic cold snap and the resulting electric demand with their unprotected plumbing and electric heating appliances.
