Thank you @ScottNBC5 and @ParksDigsIn for keeping a spotlight on this important issue. Texans would be safer, and insurance cheaper, without paper tags! nbcdfw.com/investigations/te…

Short version of the @PUCTX / @ERCOT_ISO press conference: Everything is fine, there's no chance the lights will go out—and we need to completely redesign the market to give more $ to generators to make sure there are no outages. Got it? #txlege #txenergy #energytwitter 1/2

#ERCOT Winter Seasonal Assessment is out. While ERCOT and @PUCTX disputed @FERC's October assessment that we would have a deficit of 18GW in extreme cold, ERCOT finds in an extreme event, we would be short 9-12GW which would result in lenghty outages. #txlege 1/

My open note to storm chasers - If you're thinking of coming down to storm chase in the #Metroplex, I would strongly encourage you to stay away from the heart of #DFW. Traffic is brutal 2-7 PM. When it's raining, it's worse. Severe storms? Gridlock.

Taking the kids to the splash pad in the heat? We discovered some DFW cities don’t test the water as often as the CDC recommends. #NBC5Investigates on.nbcdfw.com/iRugVkP
Some DFW Cities Check Splash Pad Water Less Often Than CDC Recommends: NBC 5 Investigates

Some DFW Cities Check Splash Pad Water Less Often Than CDC Recommends: NBC 5 Investigates

The CDC recommends testing splash pad water throughout the day to prevent serious illness. But NBC 5 Investigates has learned at least six DFW-area cities test only once a day – the minimum standard...

Quick PSA for the day: EEA doesn't automatically mean blackouts. There are multiple levels and the first two just open up more tools for ERCOT to manage supply ~ demand, it is only at the worst of conditions EEA 3 that any type of blackouts happen.

ERCOT tracker shows power prices have skyrocketed to $5000/MWh - that’s the max price cap. ERCOT has also deployed “emergency response” power - trying to keep up with demand. This is a rare move taken when electricity reserves dip below a set threshold. @NBCDFW

ERCOT just issued a conservation appeal. Similar to Monday when operations remained smooth, though with a bit tighter conditions this time on another hot, stagnant day.
