Why does Texas have a winterized base load, CNG burning stations AS Their base? Aside from it being wasteful, shouldn’t these be peakers? (even then, it would be wasteful.)

Yes but In my opinion these should at most be interim base, look at the Cyprus Waters development, it is clear they my States leaders are not thinking abt power at all, if they had been smart they would’ve done a life extension, altho’ a transition to a nuke (4 cores) of much larger capacity than the original would be ideal.

Microsoft already is & AWS Nuclear 1 is in the works. The unfortunate fact is that, like the countries u listed, we do have centralized utilities, 2 of them. But we have the WORST Of both worlds (centralized & decentralized). Unlike most, I would argue that not only should Texas STAY independent, but that the are doing the best out of almost any utility department in the country, including LADWP, PICO, & Entergy of ANO Renown.

Cont.: Yet It is clear our place is held in question and there is not a lack of reasons why. Large, traditional baseload must be installed in DFW, San Antonio-Austin, Huston, & Midland-Odessa. There is much more on the list & much more to be done here & elsewhere.
