I agree. Germany spent well over 200 billion Euros on wind and solar subsidies and over 85% of the country's energy consumption is still non-renewable. Wind power is randomly generated. I really don't to depend it for either personal or business needs. ________________________________ From: NANOG <nanog-bounces+rod.beck=unitedcablecompany.com () nanog org> on behalf of Robert Jacobs <rjacobs () pslightwave com> Sent: Tuesday, February 16, 2021 5:17 AM To: Mark Tinka <mark@tinka.africa>; nanog () nanog org <nanog () nanog org> Subject: RE: Texas internet connectivity declining due to blackouts How about letting us Texans have more natural gas power plants or even let the gas be delivered to the plants we have so they can provide more power in an emergency. Did not help that 20% of our power is now wind which of course in an ice storm like we are having is shut off... Lots of issues and plenty of politics involved here..

Poweroutage.us posted a terrific map, showing the jurisdictional borders of the Texas power outages versus the storm related power outages elsewhere in the country. https://twitter.com/PowerOutage_us/status/1361493394070118402 Sometimes infrastructure planning failures are not due to "natural hazards."
I suppose having some kind of home backup solution wouldn't be too bad right now, even though you may still not get access to services. But at least, you can brew some coffee, and charge your pulse oximetre. Mark.
