the Blackout in Texas
Terrible episode, but increasingly common. The energy 'business' reporter (there's a clue) blames frozen windmills (which function well in even colder climates because they're winterized, btw), energy 'choice' and diversity for the black outs. Didn't mention that TX privatized and deregulated their grid, and profit motive w/o regulation led to not winterizing their gas lines and other fossil fuel and nuclear equipment, which froze. Windmills actually overperformed c/w expected lower winter output. The state was warned in earlier cold blasts to prepare their system, but cheap energy and profit rules all in TX. Terrible bias in this show and the host goes along with it.Read full review »

Very potent tool. I personally like less sport, and more news and insight.
