    Author probably should’ve googled “texas power grid upgrades” before writing.

      What does this mean?

      The author is simply sharing a report from the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) about inefficiencies in the Texas grid and how it’s structured.

      Texas has their own plan to rely more on oil and older technologies, so if anyone needs to see this, it’s Texas.

      This report may be meaningless to certain Texas politicians, but it’s certainly not worthless in general.

      Why? What should people know about Texas power grid upgrades?

      Best I can see right now is ERCOT and others saying lots of upgrades have been made, but not specifics. I can see ERCOT and the legislature going back and forth on a “market overhaul” that no one can quite agree on yet and which favors more on-demand sources (natural gas and such). Can you point to where people should read about upgrades?

      I think there is a bad title here, but that’s not the title at the link. I don’t know where this title came from. OP? The link is a pretty straight forward reporting of this recently released EIA report and doesn’t seem to contain much of the author’s opinion (apart from being on a renewable biased website).
