ERCOT released a report earlier this month with some unsettling numbers on the possibility of outages this winter if Texas were to see an extreme freeze:
~50% for a 2022 freeze repeat, ~80% for a 2021 freeze repeat.
What does this mean & why does the risk of outages still exist? 🧵

Welp. That was about what we all expected. An exciting first round from Mike Tyson and absolutely nothing left after that because he's 58 years old. Jake Paul wins an easy unanimous decision.

I don't want to sound alarmist or anything, but I'm not sure it's a good idea to skip FBI background checks and bury congressional ethics reports about nominees to the most important posts in the federal government.

It’s true that there’s a lot of bad stuff in our food here in America. Deregulation isn’t too likely to fix that. www.vox.com/explain-it-t...
Why are foods banned in other places still on US grocery shelves?
Who decides what can and can’t be in food in the US?
