By the way, should Texas' grid go down, I don't want to hear a fucking thing about how it's our fault because we're a "red state."

Valentina is a Venezuelan engineer who also says the @nytimes.com report on a cyberattack that shut down the power grid in Caracas is not true.
This statement by @nytimes is factually incorrect. The vast majority of Caracas residents didn't lose power on January 3rd, not even "for a few minutes".
This can be verified through publicly available data, videos of the attack, and testimonies from people on the ground.

Fixed the illustration grid and ordering on my illustration page last night. That was an absolute ballache. But then spent a good fifteen minutes just pulling down the letters and making them spin.

The problem here is not that people don't put solar panels wherever possible. They are already doing that (and they want to do that), but they are being blocked or slowed down by bureaucracy and a lack of staff when they want to connect them to the main grid.

Since Oct, not a single day has passed without a russian attack on our energy grid.
At the same time, we've been fed fairy tales abt russia "wanting peace" — used as a convenient excuse to slow down deliveries of badly needed air defences.

Rooftop solar + home batteries are cutting grid throughput fast. Transmission‑supplied energy is down 10% since FY19, even as customer numbers rise. Fixed charges won’t fix it — we need pricing that supports electrification

Networks are losing volume to rooftop PV and home batteries, and we now have a tariff problem
Electricity networks face a structural challenge - their regulated revenue model is being challenged by rooftop PV, and this trend will accelerate with home batteries.

here's the thing about living in the southeast, most of the electrical grid has ancient and untended infrastructure that loves to go offline with the slightest provocation. which means any big storm is likely to shut things down, and frozen roads mean it won't be repaired for a while
