Just five days ago The WinePress reported the electric and power companies warned that the American grids are facing growing pressure to stay operable, due to the big push for electric and lack of other supplies.
On cue, Texans are now being asked to turn up thermostats and reduce their energy consumption, after six powerplants went offline. The outages are being blamed on a record heatwave knocking out power.
The following excerpts are from CNN:
With an early-season heat wave searing much of Texas over the weekend, the nonprofit that manages power to more than 26 million customers wants them to turn up their thermostats.
The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) made the appeal in a statement Friday, saying that soaring temperatures increased demand and caused six power generation facilities to trip offline. That resulted in the loss of about 2,900 megawatts of electricity.
We’re asking Texans to conserve power when they can by setting their thermostats to 78-degrees or above and avoiding the usage of large appliances (such as dishwashers, washers and dryers) during peak hours between 3 p.m. and 8 p.m. through the weekend.
Interim CEO Brad Jones said in the statement
The appeal comes as record temperatures across most of the southern US this weekend are expected to worsen a deepening drought.
From Phoenix to Amarillo, Texas, record temperatures are expected to reach triple digits, with a chance for some parts of Texas to break daily records over the next seven days.
ERCOT came under scrutiny last year after record cold temperatures in February caused the state’s highest electricity demand and more than 200 people died during the power crisis, with the most common cause of death being hypothermia.
Artificial Snowfall In Texas? Power Outages Persist. People Panic
In March 2021, ERCOT’s president and CEO, Bill Magness, was fired following widespread power outages during a series of winter storms that left many Texas residents in the dark for days.
Now the heat is testing Texas’ power grid.
On Wednesday, ERCOT asked power plants to postpone outages and return from outages already in progress “to serve Texans this weekend.”
ERCOT accounts for about 90% of the state’s electric load, according to a statement from the organization.
The unseasonably hot weather is driving record demand across the state, the statement said.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
In my previous report about these fears of outages, the Wall Street Journal also claimed that these problems were coming from “climate change” – which is total nonsense, but with the artificial snowfall last year, and now heat (that is not even that hot) is supposedly stymying the grid? Yeah right. It’s been 90ish degrees in Northern Indiana in recent days, so heat is not the problem.
To me, this appears to be another deliberate act to cause people to panic, and justify needing to further repair the current system: all by design.
The wicked worketh a deceitful work: but to him that soweth righteousness shall be a sure reward.
Proverbs 11:18
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

Jacob, there’s a lot of talk recently going on about the moon becoming red or Orange. I’m ignorant and lost on the subject, is this a Biblical sign?
I’m not Jacob. But that is NOT a biblical sign of anything just yet. A lot of kabalist & Talmudic hype used to sell books and push monetized videos which is VERY loosely connected with the endtime prophecy that before the great and notable day of the LORD, the sun shall be turned to darkness, and the moon into blood. Jonathan Cahn milked that one for all it was worth & laughed all the way to the bank. Should be Jonathan CON.

See Joel 2:31; Acts 2:20; and Revelation 6:12 KJB. Read the full context of those passages. Then, search ‘moon’ in an online King James Bible search engine, or in a hard copy concordance. You will find that it occurs 51 times in 51 verses, and by scanning those verses, you will learn much of the legitimate biblical typology of the moon; & the link to the feminine & idolatry. You will be reminded how some of the feasts of the Levitical law were timed by the moon. And you can eliminate many as not being related to the time of the end, which is relevant to the question you want to answer.

On a side note, the gods out from Babylon, Egypt, and Canaan can be traced both biblically and historically. Steve Van Nattan documented the archeology of idols, cuneiform tablets, and Arabic trade routes of the sons of Ishmael, and of Abraham by Keturah, Dedan, Nabaioth, and so forth….ending with an evolved confusion and Allah cobbled out of al ilah and al allat, the primal male & female gods of ancient pagan religion. There are some fascinating & eye-opening things there hidden away in museum and library backrooms, relating to the endtime merger of religions & their cultural practices which are precisely what God biblically condemns and hates.

You will also find the moon figuring largely in their idolatry & symbolism. The crescent & the round orb going back to the most ancient of their idol ‘goddesses’ of war and love. Violent and bloody. Sensual. Relative and androgynous. Cunning and serpentine.
–
Not all the sons of Ismael, or of Abraham & Keturah, will be lost to Islam & the unification cult. See Isaiah 60:7 ….for example, many of the sons of Isaac & Ishmael will be regathered & reunited during the millennium. Just the fake we’re seeing now with either so-called ‘liberal’ Chrislam, or the so-called ‘conservative’ thing that Trump & Kuchner were cobbling together & aiding …that Three Abrahamic House thing in Abu Dhabi….is antichrist and not it.
–
The counterfeits come first to try the souls of men and to manifest their allegiance, justifying their damnation and coming judgment.
–
Getting back to ‘moon’ in scripture: I believe that Song of Solomon 6:10 is the body of Christ, the completed church, which will return with him in judgment: Revelation 19 KJB.
–
Relating to ‘moon’ and the signs of the end, note how very Jewish it all is: See Isaiah 13 & 24 KJB. And note the difference between that and the millennium given in Isaiah 30 and 60 KJB. Isaiah 66:23 is plainly the millennium since there are still fleshly men gathering to worship the Lord. Compare with Revelation 19-22 KJB.
–
Comparing Revelation 6:12 & 8:12, with regard to the sun and the moon, it looks like these things overlap, and that Rev 6 may be an overview. Especially when you tie in that final earthquake & study it through scripture.
–
Ezekiel 32:7 is in the midst of the lamentation for Pharoah and Egypt…and tells of the end of many mighty, warring nations….beginning with Asshur. It speaks of the battle of Carchemish where Pharoah & Egypt were defeated, with Assyria, by Babylon. The end of the ancient glory & might of Egypt. A foreshadowing in history of the end of the nations of the mighty by the true & eternal King, & a glimpse into Hell which can be compared with Luke 16 for more information.
–
It’s rather fascinating the symbology that the Norse idolatry twisted in their glorification of warring, and you begin to link their gods with these mighty men out from Babel, Egypt and Canaan that they deified & worshipped as ‘gods’, as well as the lying, thieving, murderous spirit behind them.
–
Compare Joel 2:10, 2:31 and 3:15 with Revelation 8 and 9 KJB.
–
Read Matthew 24:29; Mark 13:24; and Luke 21:25 KJB with their chapter context & all of the above in mind.

We are not yet to that time the Bible speaks of, but in the beginning of sorrows.
Was just having a conversation on this with someone denying purposeful mismanagement to bring California, and Texas, the rest of the country….to crisis, collapse for their big ‘awakening’ and ‘reset’…same thing, dialectically framed. Judgment serving to the end of the antichrist unification & idolatry and that final judgment of the nations before the millennial reign.
–
Many also believe the forestry mismanagement leading to fires was also being exploited by DEW and ‘activists’ purposely igniting all of that uncleared tinder. Which, then, also depletes water supplies….
–
Here’s an article backing up the claim of purposeful water mismanagement, even above & beyond the population growth from massive immigration which adds another stress. I’m sure similar things are happening in Texas, though people claim such things have happened in Texas for years & deny the element of purposeful revolutionary undermining & terrorism in the matter. And, in New York for that matter.
