Remove the unconstitutional federal regulations and Texas will be just fine.
ERCOT is evil.
removing federal regulation is a big help. But Texas has destroyed most of it’s reliable cheap coal plants that are incredible backups.
They did it because Texas GOPe like Perry, Abbott, and T. Boone Pickens types cashed in on government tax credits for windmills and solar.
Further damage was done by ERCOT and the centralization of local power companies. ERCOT is another pork, laden Wall Street loyal, top heavy with Harvard and out of staters. They even have foreigners like Germans involved.
It’s a NATO of electricity. Mostly existing to create jobs for executives.
Before ERCOT, power outages in Texas were unknown unless the lines were down. The freeze of 2121 simply did not occur. For Texas to experience a blackout because not enough power can be generated it utterly disgraceful and a black eye for Texas GOPe Bushies that have run things for the last three decades. No excuses.
Feds play a part, but this is squarely at the feet of the Texas GOP Bushie hogs. Democrats would be even worse, but this is greed and GOPe. Nothing else.
