    Texas’ Big Freeze: The 2021 Power Crisis and the Lessons Learned One Year Later

    JohnBaker, Feather is also used regularly to reduce ramp rates. The Texas grid almost collapsed in 2009 with plus and minus GW per an hour ramp rate.

    Texas’ Big Freeze: The 2021 Power Crisis and the Lessons Learned One Year Later

    CWB1, Don't feed the troll. It is pointless to get into an argument with someone whose basis is a national stereotype. If you remove poor performing schools, the U.S. educational system is on par with the rest of the world. States like Minnesota, Massachusetts, Wisconsin, and North Dakota...

    Texas’ Big Freeze: The 2021 Power Crisis and the Lessons Learned One Year Later

    This is something that has been brought up that hasn't been mentioned. ERCOT issues a notice when capacity is within 3 GW of demand. When China kicked out all their cryptomines, many moved to Texas for cheap electricity and support from the Governor. Texas now has around 3-5 GW of...

    Texas’ Big Freeze: The 2021 Power Crisis and the Lessons Learned One Year Later

    In the U.S., companies are people so that is what the founders maybe meant when they said "We the people....." :(

    It isn't an emergency if that is just the normal state.

    Tugboat, That is a very small minority. All the large cryptomines are grid connected.

    Thank god Gov. Abbott has brought over GW of cryptomining load. It clearly has made everything better.

    Texas’ Big Freeze: The 2021 Power Crisis and the Lessons Learned One Year Later

    I think that we just got lucky. There was an incident in January of this year where a bunch of wells froze and it hadn't even gotten that cold. I don't know. Governor numb nuts said in a conference that the gas producers could inject menthonol I believe to prevent water from freezing. Maybe...

    Failure to recognize when an aerosol isn't a droplet, but without the stubborn dissagreements.

    Fat cell have ACE2 receptors for COVID-19. I suspect the hypothesis of the author is that the weak immune systems of old people and people with a lot of ace2 receptor location ,fat people, are more likely to spread the virus due to more likely reaching a higher viral load due to a quicker...

    Failure to recognize when an aerosol isn't a droplet, but without the stubborn dissagreements.

    Tugboat, Active cases have been way more than 300,000 or 1 out of 1000. If you buy that 20% of the population has been infected, you are looking at over 60 million people in the U.S.. We are bout a year into this but 60,000,000 / 60 weeks puts you at 1 million a week if it was evenly spread...

    Failure to recognize when an aerosol isn't a droplet, but without the stubborn dissagreements.

    TugboatEng, The U.S. has been way over 1 positive case per 1000 people. After it burned through NYC, immunological studies were putting the percentage infected at around 15%. 1 out of 1000 people in the U.S. is about 330,000 people and NYC had more than that by itself. Maybe, you are going...

    Failure to recognize when an aerosol isn't a droplet, but without the stubborn dissagreements.

    TugboatENG, You could say the same about near anything and the pandemic would come and go before the science has come to a firm 100% conclusion. There is evidence that shows a correlation between dosage and severity and this is common among many viruses. I don't know of what evidence there is...

    Failure to recognize when an aerosol isn't a droplet, but without the stubborn dissagreements.

    TugboatENG, You aren't trying to catch the virus but whatever the virus is attached to. In addition, the severity of the illness appears like a lot of viruses to be dose dependent. A lot of these medical personal who died I believe did because their initially exposure was so severe. People...

    Failure to recognize when an aerosol isn't a droplet, but without the stubborn dissagreements.

    FacEngPE, Focusing just on the filtration negates anything that has to do with the virus getting to the proper cell receptors or more simply put being contagious. I have wondered if running a humidifier is enough or has a huge affect on transmission. Transmission rates dropped after July and...

    Failure to recognise when an aerosol isn't a droplet

    I wonder what an actual epidemiologist would say reading through this thread. I suspect he or she would be impressed that someone was interested in the technical aspects of transmission and equally disheartened that no one even bothered to read their papers.

    Failure to recognise when an aerosol isn't a droplet

    The longer I have been on this forum the more I have grown weary of discussions in non-discipline forums. They are often filled with conclusions that were come to with 15 minute google searches by individuals that have no background to validate what they read. You often see the same kneejerk...

    Failure to recognise when an aerosol isn't a droplet

    LittleInch, I don't think that much research has gone into it due to sewer gas generally is not a western problem. With Sars, there was an outbreak in an apartment complex that were determined to have been caused by faulty gas traps in the drains and toilets. This has led people to speculate...

    Failure to recognise when an aerosol isn't a droplet

    Based on my experiences with having the back row seats, that outflow valve is not enough to restrict shit gas to the shitbox.

    Failure to recognise when an aerosol isn't a droplet

    The sad part is that hospital protocols are driven by this. A lot of medical personal ended up dying due to the administration not will to provide PPE in excess of droplet protection. The changing of it to airborne mandated a different set of protocols. The fact that this was airborne has...
