I think folks are reading too much into the hullabaloo about the cold outbreak down south
I think folks are reading too much into the hullabaloo about the cold outbreak down south.
- Sometimes it gets very cold in the winter, even in places where you might not think it would get get very cold.
- Engineered systems, such as power plants and the electric grid work under certain parameters, and when you exceed them, they fail.
- The extreme electricity demands of resistance heating and air-source heat pumps pre-heaters, overloaded the grid to the point it couldn’t keep up.
- It doesn’t mean the grid is defective or bad, it’s just that it’s a rare, outlaying case, when parameters were exceeded and an engineered design failed
- While maybe the it wouldn’t have been an issue in cold weather areas, where the temperature regularly gets that cold, they don’t have the natural gas and fuel oil burners down south to take energy demand off the grid.
- I think it’s foolish to blame politicians, power plant operators or electric companies for a once in a lifetime disaster that is exceedingly rare, and overwhelmed their infrastructure.
