Shouldn&#x27;t someone be subsidizing solar panels over there?<p>It would have a lot more Co2 reduction than here, since they&#x27;d no longer be forced to use random crappy generators, it would probably save lives by eliminating monoxide poisonings, and if they&#x27;re ramping up use of air conditioning that&#x27;s a lot of daytime load.

They mean &#x27;total electrical system collapse&#x27;. Incredibly irresponsible reporting from the BBC, as sadly we&#x27;ve come to expect.

Well, at least we know their blackstart systems work. I would have my doubts about whether the Texas grid could do a blackstart because that&#x27;s stuff that&#x27;s extremely rarely used but costs money--does it even exist and is it maintained if it does exist?

12,500MW - that is way lower than I expected - they clearly not industrialized.
