The state, county and city officials are aware that Centerpoint is doing all of these shortcuts to keep money in their pockets. No overtime for workers during disasters, closing down several power plants and then rigging up power grids to other power plants. So when you see one section of the neighborhood have power and then the other section other of the SAME neighborhood don't have power. I know something is not right. Why is the state still allowing ONE WHOLE electric company service one of the LARGEST CITY in AMERICA?🤔🤔🤔🤨🤨🤨🤨

He got y’all not me because Willie D does not have a clear understanding of of what has to be done before power can be restored if your power is back on 3 days after a storm like that you are extremely lucky best to prepare for at least 2 weeks without power and that’s being generous it can go for months in some cases

Incompetent is to say the least...What has they been doing with all city funds for the last 20 years since Hurricane Rita...Rita was in 2005 and none of these city officials hasn't done a Dam thing...I'm here in Beaumont, Tx , just 90 miles southeast of Houston and it's the same crap from the local city officials here...and that's Factual 💯

I lived in Houston for 21 years, moving to Maryland in 2018, this is a yearly occurrence. The federal government has offered to help Texas with its electrical grid, but they refuse. Republican politicians are always talking about succession, but they can't even fix this problem.
@drwho4314
Ай бұрын
It's not about fixing it. It's about what can be added to it, that's where the problem starts. Texas is the only state that does not import electricity from anyone and it relies solely on 2 electrical sources, natural gas and turbines (mechanical). Texas can do 1 of 2 things. Either diversify (have more than 2) the amount of electrical sources to generate power for the state OR connect the grid to the national grid and buy electricity from someone else. Choosing 1 of the 2 will increase the cost. That's the issue. Are you willing to pay more for better OR stick with what you have and just tough it out?

@@craigbeasley3120 Texas sources of electricity have separate substations, power lines, and distribution sites. With that said, adding more will not solve the problem. If you only have 2 sources and 1 decides to fail. The other will have twice the amount of work to meet the demand which in turn cuts the efficiency by half. Cutting the efficiency puts stress on how much work a machine can take. Having stress on a machine can result into a malfunction. A malfunction can result into a shutdown. Now if you have 3 sources, and 1 decides to fail. Efficiency will go down but only by 33% or 1/3 because the two remaining will take over the remaining work load. If you have 4, efficiency goes down by 25% or 1/4. See where I'm getting at?

@drwho4314 we have five sources of electricity statewide. Gas, coal, windpower, solar, and nuclear. As a consumer I have access to the first four without having to change a thing on my distribution line. They all go through the CP distribution system, from a third-party carrier. The issue right now is not lack of generation or supply, it is delinquent preventative maintenance and poor pre-storm staging.
