What? Sure I’ll do these weird exercises for you. When answered sufficiently will you acknowledge that you posted fake news?
“Waive”, in this instance, is to grant a reprieve (give a waiver) from certain pollution reduction measures as requested by Governor Abbot for the duration of the emergency.
Yes and I linked it because I like to check primary sources and not listen to nobodies on twitter. It’s four pages long and was attached to the tweet.
Sure. ERCOT requested a waiver to emit more of certain pollutants as the deemed necessary in order to provide the public with uninterrupted power. Specifically; “ ERCOT anticipates that this Order may result in exceedance of emissions of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide, mercury, and carbon monoxide emissions, as well as wastewater release limits.”
It was issued on Valentine’s Day at 8:51pm and was scheduled to remain in effect until 11:59pm on 2-19.
Waive = unblock. You can't unblock if you don't block in the first place. When was the request made and when did the adverse whether conditions start? It took two days to come through.
What would you call the rest of the document? Screw it, I'll just tell you. Further restrictions and inhibition, massive red tape. Almost prohibitive conditions. So not an unconditional waiver but with strings attached.
A massive price hike at a time when emergency power is needed for a few days? Enormous markup.
Who even picked that figure? Why $1500? Who foots the bill? This might as well be a fake waiver for plausible deniability.
If you're going to be Mr Pedantic read the whole thing and don't fall for their scam. These are corrupt people. These are the games they play. There's no such thing as a waiver. There's always a price attached to everything.
I was typing out another response to you, I’ll drop it at the end of this because it gets into the discussion of “waiver” I was being kinda lazy with what is a very specific term of art in the federal government. This is technically an “order”, but if you want to play ‘gotcha’ with a dictionary then this won’t get anywhere. You’d have to go to the federal register to figure out what a waiver is to the DOE anyway, that don’t just copy and past from Webster’s...
The request was made on the 14th and it came through on the 14th. Read the primary source. “ On February 14, 2021, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), the Independent System Operator (ISO) whose service territory includes 90 percent of the electric customers in the state of Texas, filed a Request for Emergency Order Under Section 202(c) of the Federal Power Act (Application) with the United States Department of Energy (Department) “to preserve the reliability of bulk electric system”
Yeah. The rest of the document, after, “do what needs to be done” does ask for a report of what happened after the 19th. One of my main beefs with the federal government is that too often transparency leads to a slow moving process. It’s tough for me. If there is going to be a massive federal bureaucracy, I like to know what they are doing. Also, where did I say that the DOE order was, “unconditional” but more importantly, why was it not brought up that Abbots request was granted, however feebly, by no one else in the thread.
I don’t understand the relevance of the price fixing link. Edit: sorry, moving too fast, responded to another person and came back to this. Yes, every watt generated that resulted in “excessive” pollution was extortion.
It’s extortion, the entire Texas energy system (well, the entire US, but that isn’t the subject) is extortionate, but that is only for any of this excess power that is needed that would go over pollution controls, not every watt generated.
Can you define the term waive to me?
Have you read the rest of the paper?
Can you say exactly what is waived?
Have you read the date?

It requires the excess energy to be charged at an exorbitantly high price among other things.
Consider how aggressive these restrictions are. Read the whole thing.
We're talking perhaps one state on a week to two weeks of emergency power generation. Look at how extreme they are about even that.
Aptly named, scumcunt. Do you think the waiver counts if they’re required to charge $1500/megawatt hour?
It’s extortion, the entire Texas energy system (well, the entire US, but that isn’t the subject) is extortionate, but that is only for any of this excess power that is needed that would go over pollution controls, not every watt generated.
Ask yourself, is the power that Americans need to heat their homes to keep from freezing to death, ever really "excess power"?
