With virtually no regulation, isn't that the issue, more than wind power itself,</p> <p class="p1"><span class="s2"><strong>Craig Peterson:</strong></span> [00:00:10] Almost a total grid collapsed down in Texas. I get into that. All of the statistics, the real numbers. Let's prove what's right here when we're talking about some of these renewable energy resources. I get into it all with Mr. Chris, Ryan, here we go.</p> <p class="p1"><span class="s3"><strong>Chris Ryan:</strong></span> [00:00:28] To be our new newscaster here on New Hampshire today. As we move to a little bit more serious topic, certainly for individuals involved down in Texas. I think this, obviously, when you see things happen in other States, you start to think about what could happen in my state. What could happen here in New Hampshire? The energy failure in regards to the grid in Texas is deeply concerning. What have you seen in regards to that and what do you attribute it to?</p> <p class="p1"><span class="s2"><strong>Craig Peterson:</strong></span> [00:00:53] Chris, we talked a few weeks ago here about what could happen with even something like a massive solar flare. That it really could knock out our electric grid. This would be a major problem, because even as we're burning oil You still need electricity in order to get that heat flowing through your house, whether it's via water or by air.</p> <p class="p
