Gas shortages in New Mexico ...

Funny how close Shub really is.

I was very surprised to read this. I am not in the know, but my impression is the gas systems operate off of natural gas fueled pumps and generators. So they are not tied to the electric grid.

Jimbo, I chatted with a former head of the NM energy dep't tonight, and he confirmed that the pumps are indeed electric...

Sorry Precaud and BB, didn't mean to send this to the Ash Can. Feel free to delete that post.

No apology needed, BB moved it so he could reignite these old antagonies (is that a word?).

AZ and TX have a lot more in common than the popular wisdom admits...

Not me. I didn't move it. :-S

I did, sorry for the confusion. Good thread, but it isn't directly wood or hearth related. I wasn't sure where was best. Moved to the Green Room with link to It's a Gas.

Whenever I hear about "rolling blackouts" now I can't help but wonder if it's like the BS that went on in California in the early 2000's.

Makes you proud to live in a capitalistic country. :red:
