Raise a Glass to Malbec! Malbec World Day, April 17 | SaltWire #reels #shorts #wine #foodLITTLETON, Colorado - Drops in power generation from wind farms, hydro dams and nuclear reactors has forced the operator of the electric grid in Texas - one of the largest power systems in the United States - to boost fossil fuel use and emissions so far this year.

That higher production has lifted ERCOT's total fossil fuel-powered generation by 10% from the same period in 2023. But the largely flat output from all clean sources means fossil fuels remain the main source of power within the Texas electricity generation system so far this year.The declines in output from wind, hydro and nuclear sources has resulted in clean power losing its share of the ERCOT generation mix compared to a year ago.

In January, 18.4 million metric tons of carbon dioxide was emitted by Texas power producers, according to energy think tank Ember. That in turn will place further strain on the state's power system, and may result in even greater quantities of fossil fuel use in electricity generation.
