"Mexico's state electricity company on Wednesday started supplying electricity to the US state of Texas, where demand shot up amid unusually
- cold temperatures and caused power outages.
Mexico's Federal Electricity Commission "was determined to support Texas with electrical energy faced with the problems the state is suffering due to climatological conditions," a statement said.
An energy transfer of 280 megawatts began at midday (1800 GMT) via the north Mexican border cities of Nuevo Laredo, Reynosa and Piedras Negras, it added.
Texas Governor Rick Perry said in a statement that power and emergency management experts were working with utility providers to ensure power was restored as quickly as possible.
"Until that happens, I urge businesses and residents to conserve electricity to minimize the impact of this event," Perry added.
An epic winter storm Wednesday buried more than a third of the United States in drifting snow, sleet and ice that brought air and road travel to a halt.
Snowstorms also paralyzed air transport, blocked operations in factories and caused schools to shut in the Mexican city of Ciudad Juarez,
- across the border from El Paso, Texas.
Ciudad Juarez mayor Hector Murgia said the temperatures of around minus 13 degrees centigrade (8.6 Fahrenheit) were the
- lowest recorded in almost 50 years."
From "sustainables" central, the UK:
1/09/11, "Customers face huge bill from wind farms that don't work in the cold," UK Daily Mail, Tom McGhie
"The failure of Britain’s wind farms to produce electricity in the extreme cold will cost billions of pounds, create an economic crisis and lead to blackouts, leading industrialists have warned.
To cover up the ineffectiveness of wind farms
- the Government will be forced to build emergency back-up power plants, the cost of which will
- be paid by industry and consumers."...

"Wind energy produces no greenhouse gases or any other air pollutant."...
- This of course is a lie at the expense of the US taxpayer and his family. Wind energy requires fossil fueled generators to heat them and as backup. And the gearboxes themselves require hydraulic fluid and lubricating oils.

"ICLEI, ERCOT involvement:
PDF from “4CleanerAir.org”.
The eGRID database maintained by EPA is a widely used resource, forming the basis of the ERCOT methodologies developed by Art Diem of the EPA and by the Texas A&M’s Energy Systems Laboratory.
ICLEI developed eGRID. It’s there in their agenda.
Another PDF, this one from The City Of Arlington.
As a member of ICLEI-Local Governments for Sustainability, a participant in the Cities for Climate Protection campaign, and a signatory to both the U.S. Conference of Mayors 2030 Challenge and the U.S. Conference of Mayors Federal Climate Policy Framework, the City has committed to addressing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in its own operations, and within the community.
That’s just two documents and two instances. There’s thousands more - just for Texas."
