>Now ERCOT has warned there is a 14.4 percent chance it will need to employ controlled outages in December, with the estimate rising to 16.8 percent in January.

No, it said that if we had the exact same disaster storm THEN we would then have a 14.4% chance of a rolling blackout at 8am. The odds of this storm could be 2% for all we know.

Heres the report:

I assume our odds are better due to the winterization we put in.
