I'm not defending wind power. My question reflects my frustration in trying to understand why this wasn't anticipated before the utilities putting such a high degree of reliance on wind power. I don't know anything about utilities in Texas and would love to know how, in a state that I wouldn't think of as particularly 'green'-loving, this came to be.
After our long ugly political season, I guess I just want responsibility to be more of an issue. If you can share any links for my education I'd appreciate it.
Thanks for the info. However: to say 'wind power caused the blackout' is ludicrous. The utilities' RELIANCE on windpower is the problem. I bet houses with solar panels on their roofs have trouble when they're covered with snow too. Etc. Please make the case that the information supports and don't go down the rabbithole of 'alternate energy bad! fossil good!' - that just appeals to the lowest common denominator. Make your case more elegantly, please.

Not to negate your point, far from it, but could you clarify 'economy' (and/or 'period') when you say "during the same period, the economy grew by only $2.92 Trillion." Since 2008, GDP is up $7.5T, (in 12 yrs), so that would be closer to $5 in stimulus for every $1 in growth. Which still entirely supports the point but I just want to be on the same page you are....
They're refunding Broadway tickets thru next May now...heartbroken for all the people and businesses whose livelihood revolves around theatre district and tourism.
What is so disruptive about Deere? You don't mention in the video (I swear I listened to it all.....). Not a company I would call that, what am I missing? Thanks in advance.
Thanks! This is quite helpful. But I gotta ask about the tease "Out of the thousands of deals I’ve seen, only one comes close (and it’s probably my best investment). " WHAT IS IT? Or, ok, where can I find out...
