We remember our former General Manager Todd Renfrow, who served City Water, Light and Power beginning in April 2003. In his tenure at CWLP he accomplished much for both the Electric and Water Divisions. cwlp.com/BlogDetails.aspx/Re…

Temperatures across the Lower 48 are averaging 31° this afternoon. Solar and wind are providing only 10% of the electricity generation, and 60% of that is in Texas, Florida, the Desert Southwest and California, which is where it is currently warm. The reason over 160 million people are not freezing to death right now is because of coal, natural gas and nuclear power. Think twice before demonizing the energy that keeps you alive.

One year ago, millions of American families experienced rolling blackouts as frigid temperatures brought by Winter Storm Elliot caused fuel supply problems for natural gas power plants throughout the Eastern US and surging demand for electricity for home heating. A thread

MISO is, by far, retiring the most thermal capacity in the coming decade. No wonder we face the greatest risks of blackouts. From @NERC_Official

Texas and California, both broke their energy markets with wind and solar and now they pay gas plants to stay online.
.@ERCOT_ISO signalling it may use its "Reliability Must Run" power to require continued operation of a power plant seeking to retire. In the past, RMR was used for local reliability issues. This would be the first time it would be used for system resource adequacy.

Electric reliability headed in the wrong direction across much of the country: "If summer temperatures spike and become more widespread, the U.S. West, Midwest, Texas and Southeast, New England and Ontario (in Canada) may experience resource shortfalls" reuters.com/business/energy/…

Full video of the accident scene on I-55 south of Springfield, IL near the Sangamon Montgomery county line. Horrific. Dust being kicked up by 45mph winds contributing to this awful tragedy where sadly people have lost their lives.

Germany burned 13% more coal in 2022 than the previous year because over the past 2 decades it shut down nuclear power plants, spent nearly $500 billion on wind & solar power, & increased its dependence on Russian gas.
Share of electricity from coal (Germany vs. its W. European neighbours) 🇩🇪 Germany: 31% 🇳🇱 Netherlands: 13% 🇩🇰 Denmark: 11% 🇬🇷 Greece: 10% 🇮🇹 Italy: 8% 🇮🇪 Ireland: 7% 🇪🇸 Spain: 3% 🇬🇧 UK: 1.9% 🇫🇷 France: 1% 🇦🇹 Austria: 0.2% 🇵🇹 Portugal: 0.1% 🇧🇪🇳🇴🇸🇪 Belgium, Norway, Sweden: <0.1%
