For as long as they are willing to take the guff, I'm glad Sic and Hovey continue to post their contrarian views (here, at least). The choirbox is full, and it's vocal. I may disagree with most of what they say, but as Justice Holmes once put it:

[W]hen men have realized that time has upset many fighting faiths, they may come to believe even more than they believe the very foundations of their own conduct that the ultimate good desired is better reached by free trade in ideas—that the best test of truth is the power of the thought to get itself accepted in the competition of the market . . . .

The competition part.

Hovey, yes, since he's genuine in his opinions. Sic is part Dunning-Kruger, part troll, part propaganda-influenced, and with each part taking its turn as the dominant trait depending on the day. The trick is to correct the Dunning- Kruger errors, ignore the troll attempts, and pity the propaganda spiels, but they overlap so much it can be tough to tell which one is in play.
 
If you post 2 + 2 = 5 and get laughed off the stage that isn't Groupthink.

The board isn't intolerant of diverse opinion. It just laughs at stupidity and the stupid get butt hurt.
 
I came to post what uno said. Sic is a Pansy who won’t actually answer any rough questions- you can predict with near perfect accuracy what days he will show up and whar he will conveniently ignore.

hovey also doesn’t strike me as misogynistic

The point is ERCOT and MISO are not equivalent entities, which is what you implied with the second half of your own quoted post.

They're not.
Like I said, "ERCOT the regulating body got stupid" versus when I said "ERCOT the grid ... "

MISO is just neutered. They have no product and just try to herd cats (G&Ts).

I'll ask a far more relevant question to you than that lame appeal to authority.


What do you believe that wasn't informed upon you by Fox News and their ilk? All I see is you vomiting out their garbage.
 
If you're actually in authority then try and be part of the solution instead of part of the problem. The problem right now? Profiteering. No question, no doubt about it (your own book post confirmed it). Fix that, and the grid fixes itself.

I can only work from within the MISO system, but yeah, there's a lot to learn from the mistakes of ERCOT.

Fox News? I dropped cable. Life is so much better.

So the bullshit just comes naturally then?



Why is it that everyone who just regurgitates right wing talking points lies about not consuming right wing media? My dad does the same thing, but any time I go to his house, there's Fox News on TV.

I was an employee of a state regulatory body for electric, natural gas, telecommunications, and water utilities for 5 years, so thousands. I'm more of an expert on the natural gas side of things, but had plenty of work on the electrical side.

And I still dabble in it as necessary for my current clients.

You play in nat gas?
I gladly stay away from it (because to me it's a hornets nest, but we were still approached as possible partner). If you ever want a real mess to look at trying to get nat gas to small town ND and who all fights it. I'm for the development and expansion (small town business and economies are boosted by it) but I'm also embarrassed to say one of the opponents is the electric companies' consortium that would lose heating load. After that, heating fuel delivery companies fight it.

PS - Primary OH would reach LA to NYC and primary UD would make a full return.
 
"I dropped cable" says literally every MAGAt in the last 5 years looking to score a quick holier-than-thou point with their friends and acquaintances. Yet somehow they still get all the talking points memos from party headquarters. They obviously just get them off the dark corners of the Internet instead of straight from Tucker's mouth.

Because like with everything else they are defensive about it.

tldr: cowardice
