Texas Power Operator's Cold Weather Warning Sparks Flood of Memes
==========
The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) issued a weather watch for extreme cold weather across the ERCOT region from January 15-17. This warning has sparked a flood of memes and sarcastic comments on social media. The incoming cold weather is a cause for concern as Texas suffered a massive power grid failure in February 2021 during severe winter storms. ERCOT assured that grid conditions are expected to be normal, but many social media users expressed their distrust through memes and comments. The article also mentions other uncharacteristic storms that have hit Texas since the power grid failure. ERCOT's six-day forecast shows power demand growing closest to the grid's capacity on January 16, with 87,900 megawatts of energy available and expected demand at 79,736 megawatts during that time.
