April 30Apr 30 Grid operator gives preliminary breakdown. https://x.com/javierblas/status/1917192789097435598?s=46 What a horseshit headline. The cascading failures described - talking literally seconds to unfold - do not match up the a “failure of green energy.” The sun didn’t go black in 3.5 seconds. The wind didn’t instantly stop in seconds when it was blowing just fine before. What the story described looks like some massive failure of control systems (in the simplest terms, the systems that get generation onto the grid). And that it happened at multiple places sure raises possibility that it was an attack. Which could have happened to a fossil fuel plant’s interface with the grid as well.
April 30Apr 30 Also reading a hypothesis that something (atmospheric?) affected transmission lines causing voltage oscillations and…systems being very frequency-sensitive, caused multiple resources to trip and go offline, causing its own cascade. Will be interesting to see what will likely be a series of failures. But it is very unlikely that it was a “green energy failure” - as in, resources failed because they were solar or wind.

You're responding to GRU, who's posting a tweet from the same guy who kept predicting Europe would freeze that first winter after the start of the Russian war on Ukraine. GRU loves that guy's Xitter account.

Despite all of my city’s misgivings, this quote from a gentleman living in New Orleans in the 1870s is as accurate an assessment of my opinion and feelings as I could write. New Orleans is a comfortable metropolis which has a certain apathy and stagnation which I find inoffensive. -I.J. Riley

Beer is getting a little warm.I need to write a strongly worded letter to the Red Electrical company. Traffic circles everywhere are the norm so traffic is ok. Worst part is internet went down at 1230 and it's just now coming back (it's 545pm now). No TV. The German school near me went to all day recess so the kids were being loud all afternoon and screaming about invading Poland and shit. They said it was heat related but only got up to about 75 today here. I had no idea this was kind of a big deal until I tried to go down the mountain where I live to eat and the internet came back on and I saw this thread. I just thought my neighborhood went out. Oh, no ice cream at the supermarket, they taped everything shut. HEB was open?
