Eddie,^^, Not so fast on the "natural gas, I'm good" comment. Reports are that natural gas well heads in OK and TX are freezing up, so no gas flowing and fears of residential service shutdowns.
That will result in the gas utility to physically go to each residence before resuming service.
That might take a day or two!!!!

How much you want to bet there will be a lot of shops really busy in the coming weeks--and perhaps a shortage of Marine motors?

I've long planned for a long duration grid down event no matter the cause. During winter we have three separate sources of heat that require no electricity. A hard coal (anthracite) burner that is gravity fed thus requiring no power, a propane gas fireplace along with a wall mounted brick heater and in reserve a wood burner. All three can also be used for cooking. Yep, I'm one of those tinfoilers that libs love to hate. A person could freeze to death waiting for the Gubment to save them. Call me prepared and self reliant. Hope I've provoked some thought.

I saw that spot electric was up to the max of $9,000/mwh in Texas for a bit.

Need more of those ugly ass wind farms, just put a whole line 4 miles from my farm. Another great idea.

I can hear the disclaimer already.... "No spotted owls were harmed in the removal of said trees."

Libs just cant figure it out, what they want and try to drive up our asses makes no sense in the real world. Just wait till they get their next electric bill....
