Fixed it to be accurate. I was talking about nuclear power and pointed out how much we had in comparison to the other sources.
NOTE: I mentioned solar, wind and natural gas when showing how much power from nuclear that we could expand on. I did not mention coal because its just not going to make a comeback.

ok I will type slower this time.

I WASN'T TALKING ABOUT ANYTHING BUT THEY SHUT DOWN THREE POWER PLANTS AND DIDN'T REPLACE THE POWER.
you listed the amount of power needed to replace. I was just pointing out Tx like a lot have shut down coal power plants and never replaced them.
That's it nothing more. I never said anything about coal just that three plants were shut down. I don't care if you start a dozen new plants that run off of BS you still haven't replaced the three plants they shut down so you don't have that power

start up some with horse stuff I don't care

I own oil and gas mineral interests on a ranch that gets produced. Been around oil companies since I was kid. I never said anything about gas. Heavy/Sour crude. Sour crude contains more sulfur. Refining is chemistry and certain end products require different inputs. I didn’t make up the term so here you go. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sour_crude_oil

They didn't replace them because they are getting rid of coal power plants. You know that.
They aren't coming back and you don't replace something you are trying to get rid of.
Thats why I didn't mention it and why I wondered why you did.

ok I can't type it any slower for you. I DID NOT SAY anything about coal. I said replace the pwoer lost. I don't care if you go take a poop and run it with that. TEXAS didn't replace the lost power. Why is that so hard for you to get

so I guess what power plants were built to replace those three is a better way of getting through to you whether its with nuclear or not.

I just did a quick look and our energy needs have grown, not dropped since Monticello shut down.
Why do you believe we have not replaced the energy that Monticello produced? I'm pretty sure they took that into account when they shut it down and as you know, natural gas along with solar and wind have grown a lot since then.

I have no idea what you are trying to say here since I didn't say any of that.
I didn't say anything about demand dropping. I mentioned the three because demand as not dropped but gone up with more people and so on. There is no evidence they replaced them and the ice storm a few years ago. that showed they didn't have the capability to keep up because they didn't replace the coal fired plants. the coal fired kept running during ice storms or summer time. That is about the only time they ran them any more was in peak demand.
Texas is known for rolling blackout which is another way of showing they didn't replace them. They shut down most of the coal fired plants under obama which was absolutely idiotic if you hadn't built replacement before you shut them down which they didn't. but on that subject a lot of states have done the same thing which is stupid. Why would you get rid of power plants before replacing them. that is all about being able to charge more for power. Why would you get rid of oil and refineries before getting another way of fueling cars.
with the clean coal out of wyoming and new technologies coal fired plants were about as clean as the gas you now fire a lot of them with. any way and its cheaper for lower energy cost.
if you want to get rid of fossil fuel find but don't get rid of our energy before you do or make it so high the average perrson can't afford it anymore. that is all you have really done with the whole green energy deal is just move money from this industry to that one it didn't save the planet but if did help al gore and the green energy people to make a lot fo money over the fraud of global warming

Is it smart to quit your job without having another one lined up? MMMMMMMMMMMMM

for liberals and green people the answer is yes for everyone else no

Do true liberals have jobs?

They do. Making life miserable for others.

Now you're saying ERCOT, all appointed by the governor are liberals. Plus the energy companies that asked to have the plant closed down.

YOU COULD, but won't try to support your contentions with data or even showing them running around like chickens with their heads cut off when the plant closed. Fact is they had it planned and nothing bad happened as a result of it closing.
There, you've dumped on Abbott and I've backed him up. Imagine that.

JR Ewing Cliff Calvin Carl, is my favorite Carl Character.

You people are clueless if you think the oil industry is going to drill themselves into bankruptcy. They will always try to maximize profit. They never put low cost of fuel as a priority.
The government does not have the power to make the industry over produce.
