Verbatim, from the transcripts: the passages where Texas comes up
What do you do with a 100-hour battery?
- ▶ 19:35 Mateo Jaramillo It could be a heat dome in the Pacific Northwest, or a polar vortex in the upper Midwest, or a nor'easter, you know, in the Northeast, or an unlikely winter storm Uri in Texas.
Update: What the new Treasury rules mean for EV supply chains
EV charging on both sides of the pond
- ▶ 12:15 Nick Woolley Whether you are in Texas or Spain or the UK or California, you basically, that we see a massive spike
- ▶ 15:12 Nick Woolley So, for example, Texas resembles a lot more like, ah, the UK market where retail is separate.
Mailbag episode! Interest rates, carbon dioxide removal, load growth, and more
- ▶ 34:42 Shayle Kann Uh, there, there's a bunch of data around, so like Texas, another example of this, right?
The market for microgrids
- ▶ 16:42 Tim Hade Texas, during Yuri, um, almost lost power for probably multiple weeks, um, and they were, I think, 30 minutes away from that happening.
- ▶ 43:38 Shayle Kann In the wake of events like Sandy or like hurricanes in Texas, you know, how much, how much does the immediacy of these reliability events really drive demand?
Fixing interconnection
- ▶ 3:00 Tyler Norris So Texas has around 40 gigawatts of installed wind.
- ▶ 6:25 Shayle Kann And he wrote a great paper about what sounds like a pretty simple idea, which is basically bring the process that has worked in ERCOT, the Texas electricity market, to the rest of the country.
- ▶ 17:10 Shayle Kann So let's talk about what else could be done, and in particular, we're going to talk about Texas. 14 times in the scene
- ▶ 26:44 Shayle Kann Um, and in some ways that, that seems very much like a, it's a very Texas-like thing, right? 2 times in the scene
- ▶ 29:26 Shayle Kann So I'm a, I'm a perspective generator, and I submit an interconnection request outside of Texas. 4 times in the scene
- ▶ 36:02 Shayle Kann So I think in some ways it is kind of intuitive given how you describe the process, but maybe we can spend a minute more on, on exactly why the process that the interconnection process outside of Texas with the system impact studies and so…
- ▶ 38:38 Shayle Kann Okay, so if you could, if you're in charge of PJM or MISO or CAISO or some, some market outside of Texas, and you could wave a somewhat realistic magic wand, in other words, you can reform the interconnection process, but you're not going…
The food-energy nexus
- ▶ 28:55 Dr. Michael Webber We're having massive agricultural losses in Texas right now from the heat wave and drought. 3 times in the scene
Can the V2X dream become reality?
- ▶ 8:02 Shayle Kann In Texas, who had, I think it was a Ford F- one-fifty, uh, Lightning that is capable of doing V to H, and, um, they had an outage in Texas, and he used the, used the vehicle to power his lab, uh, he happens to do vasectomies, so he called… 2 times in the scene
The great Bitcoin energy debate
- ▶ 3:07 Shayle Kann Well, look at all the mines in Texas that are participating in demand response events.
- ▶ 4:55 Ben Hertz-Shargel Um, it's much more scattered across the Midwest and the Mountain West, uh, but then there's a lot in Texas.
- ▶ 6:20 Shayle Kann I know there's a big cluster in Texas and ERCOT, which we'll, we'll probably talk more about.
- ▶ 11:49 Ben Hertz-Shargel And he also dug into things like demand response and some, how miners make money, how they have acted in certain, um, you know, kind of grid sensitive times like the winter storm Ori in Texas.
- ▶ 17:02 Ben Hertz-Shargel Um, whereas retail customers pay a much larger margin in Texas, and that margin, in fact, does grow with the price of electricity. 3 times in the scene
- ▶ 31:03 Shayle Kann So we're in Texas. 4 times in the scene
- ▶ 40:17 Ben Hertz-Shargel Example, there, uh, there's a bit, there's a mine in Texas, uh, US Bitcoin, which is behind the meter, uh, now at, uh, the King Mountain wind facility, which is a really large facility, and they've basically signed to, to, uh, take, I…
- ▶ 44:38 Ben Hertz-Shargel You know, the number that, that I gave the, uh, 1.8 billion per year in Texas, it's conservative because, you know, that's,
Understanding the transmission bottleneck
- ▶ 29:32 Shayle Kann And ERCOT, so this is right, this was a Texas, because Texas has its own grid and gets to do things its own way, Texas created the CREZ, I don't know what to call it, program, uh, which resulted in a bunch of transmission build-out. 5 times in the scene
What the new Treasury rules mean for EV supply chains
2023 trends: biomass, ESG, batteries and more
- ▶ 18:25 Nat Bullard And I think that in general, China's assets, largely because of geography, unless they're far in the West or the high altitude desert, tend to have lower capacity factors than you would have in, say, Texas, you know, or New Mexico in the…
- ▶ 27:19 Nat Bullard Traipse in front of like local regulatory bodies and courts in Texas and stick up for your ESG policies.

Natural gas whiplash
- ▶ 11:38 Anne-Sophie Corbeau Texas freeze, when the Henry of gas prices went through the roof, because again, you know, suddenly we had a very strange, abnormal weather event, which really sent gas prices again through the roof.
- ▶ 15:57 Shayle Kann And as you said, there were a bunch of, you know, you call them weird, strange, semi-anomalous weather events, but as climate change progresses, presumably those types of things, whether it is a drought in China or a heat wave in the…
Ammonia: the beer of decarbonization
- ▶ 10:23 Julio Friedmann There's a second smaller one that runs actually from the panhandle of Texas into the Corn Belt, and for the same reasons.
- ▶ 44:22 Julio Friedmann Uh, we did a study looking at an example in Galveston, Texas, and to move a million tons of ammonia a year,
