This is false. Natural gas and coal increased production during the week of Feb 9-16. Natural gas energy production in TX on Feb 14 was over 10% the high summer spike of 2020.
- angry_octet 6y agoSo how did they lose >30GW? Are you saying significant numbers of generation plants didn't go offline? Seriously, go cherry pick somewhere else.
- abernard1 6y agoThat is from its peak. Even after the whole market losing 30GW, natural gas production on the 14th was higher than the 9th. The cherry picking is that natural gas energy production increased dramatically to make up for the collapse of wind power on the 9th. Yes, it dropped 30% on the 14th, but from a dramatically higher point. On 2/15, natural gas energy production was even higher at 44GWh. Wind went from 23GWh to 3Gwh.
