I suggest you read what you wrote in reply to me, and what I replied to.

Unsurprisingly, nothing has changed. Not only are you arguing against a statement I did not make, but if someone else had said that, your response is nonsense because it requires that Texas, alone, has been completely constrained by decisions made 40-90 years or more ago.

  What is that leads you to say that?
  - mannykannot 6y ago
    The stream of nonsense with which you have replied to me with, of course - and maybe you know it is nonsense, as you have stopped trying to defend it. At this point, it would be better for you to acknowledge it is nonsense, rather than give the impression that you still cannot figure out that it is.

      What is that you leads you to say "...it requires that Texas, alone, has been completely constrained by decisions made 40-90 years or more ago."? Are you uncomfortable supporting your position?

        > Are you uncomfortable supporting your position? Unlike you, I am not. It simply comes back to an issue that you have been avoiding for quite a while: All of today's grids started with smaller, less-connected entities. That is not an adequate justification for the current situation. The idea that Texas alone is somehow constrained, by forces beyond its control, from changing with the times, is absurd.

        Where are you getting the idea, that it comes back to Texas being constrained?
        mannykannot 6y ago
        That is a very odd question, as it could hardly be clearer that the point here is that as there have been no special constraints preventing Texas from following the rest of the world's example in improving its energy infrastructure over the decades, your reply to my original point is irrelevant.
        solidsnack9000 6y ago
        Texas was not constrained when they made the choice to develop an energy grid that remained separate from the other grids developing in the US. ("All of today's grids started with smaller, less-connected entities.")
        mannykannot 6y ago
        The point that is actually relevant here is that Texas has not been constrained from modifying its energy infrasrastructure, to make it more resilient than it has proved to be, at any time since then.

        What policies were you referring to when you said "All of today's grids started with smaller, less-connected entities."? A lot of people have focused on Texas's separate grid policy.
        mannykannot 6y ago
        That is not a statement about policies, it is a statement of historical fact about electrical-supply grids in general. What part of that statement do you disagree with?
