Texas making Mississippi look capable in something it has no right to.
Not a lot to do with Texas...
This failure happened inside of their facility. And, the backup system apparently has not been properly tested
The incident was linked to upgrade work that was underway in the Johnson Space Center’s building.
Huston you have a problem...
Maybe ERCOT should get their heads out of their asses and connect to the national grid.
while you're not wrong, it's not relevant in this case.
It had nothing to do with ERCOT.
Not with that shithead governor.
That isn't going to help anything when the failure was inside of NASAs facility.....
I don’t think Texas should be allowed to use hamster wheels for critical electricity generation anymore. Hamsters die way too often. And while we’re at it, we should ban adults from wearing cowboy costumes until we figure out if they’re groomers or actual cowboys. Kids won’t be safe until they know which adults have ponies and which are just pretending and up to no good.
As fun as it is to shit on ERCOT, this was due to internal issues at Johnson space center.
There were upgrades going on, with backup plans in place.
They were notified of the outage via roscosmos within 20m, and were running from the backup system within 90m.
All in the article
Except it was due to work inside the center, not the grid. There's plenty to make fun of without making shit up, but go off, I guess.
