Bad winter ice storms are a fixture in Texas. Always have been. Before this organization and renewable energy, this never happened. In the past, the only time the power went out was when lines were physically damaged by ice, or a tornado tore lines down. This is at the feet of windmills, and the organization running the grid. All of it was installed by the Republicans who have held solid power the last 25 years in Texas. Bush, Perry, Abbott.
I hear what you are saying. At the same time, I will say that I kind of like our power market in spite of this. I don’t think I would want us to return to the Rate Regulated market of old where utilities burned money freely simply because they could throw it back on the rate payers (us).
