Texas Catastrophe
Whom to blame?
It is normal for us
not to blame the weather for the natural disasters
that we experience.
Naturalmente!
Because calamities due to weather occur naturally.
We blame people instead
because people are the ones who can alleviate
or reduce the effects of these disasters to our sufferings.
The Texans have just pointed the blame to the owners of the
power company that failed to generate the emergency electricity
required to combat the cold freeze.
The power grid, or that station that distributes power
failed considerably.
Now, power generating stations produce more power than
necessary to supply its customers.
In those times when the demand is bigger than the station
can produce, it looks for another supply from another region.
This requires a power sharing agreement with the others.
This sharing is an automatic connection between power grids.
Texas has its own power grid and does not share power with
other generating stations.
So therefore there was not any other power grid to get
the emergency electricity from.
This power sharing was not adopted because the cold freeze
of this magnitude was not expected in Texas.
Consequently, the advanced windmill generators also froze
due to lack of anti-cold synthetic oil transmission gear systems
plus automatic heaters inside the windmills.
But then again, the weather has changed its habits these days.
Warm regions are having snowfalls,
Cold regions have experienced ice melts.
There must be something else that is causing this climate change.
And I daresay it is not merely a greenhouse effect.
My next post may blow your wits off
when I suggest the other cause for this weather tantrums.
