My source in Texas: “36 hours and counting. 47 Degrees in house...praying pipes don’t burst. ONCOR and ERCOT not telling us everything. One minute the excuse is it’s a controlled, rolling outage (36 hours!?!?) the next is technicians are on the scene addressing damage and trying to fix. Only way ONCOR is communicating with customers is via Twitter or recorded message telling us to go to their website (hello...no power = no internet!)...both give no indication of timeline. We’re freezing in our own homes. It’s maddening. 3rd World America in the 21st Century.”

Fulton County voted on Tuesday to fire its elections director after a tumultuous 2020 presidential election and two Senate runoff contests.
The Fulton County Board of Registration and Elections voted 3-2 on Tuesday in favor of firing Richard Barron, who has held the post since 2013, despite pleas from the election chief’s staff, who wrote a letter in support of their boss, according to WABE, Atlanta’s local NPR affiliate.

This is not a controlled rolling outage. No electric all night and most of the day. We’ve had maybe 6 hours of electricity since Sunday night.
Thank goodness we have a gas stove (that we’ve been warned not to use for heat) and neighbors with a fireplace.
This is pretty much BS. Two blocks over friends report they have had no loss of service as have other friends in various parts of town, mostly those near schools (closed schools I should add)
Just heard tonight that oncor are raising energy rates....same thing the water district did when they didn’t deliver during the drought.
