Texas AG Paxton and his felony indictments just returned back to Texas yesterday after being MIA since the beginning of this media storm.....
Paxton had a scheduled meeting with other AG’s in Utah
Texas can fix the problem. there is no perfection with humans. There is extremist stupidity however and corruption.:watermark(cdn.texastribune.org/media/watermarks/2021.png,-0,30,0)/static.texastribune.org/media/files/d1bab4b78f51d326e4904a4b31067cc3/ATX%20Winter%20Storm%20JV%20TT%2009.jpg)
ERCOT board members who live outside of Texas are resigning in the aftermath of the power outage, winter storm
Five board members, including the chair, who do not live in Texas will resign. A candidate for another position on the board has withdrawn his application. The vacancies will not immediately be filled.www.texastribune.org
"Five board members of the Electric Reliability Council of Texas — the entity that manages and operates the electricity grid that covers much of Texas — will resign on Wednesday, according to a notice to the Public Utility Commission. A sixth has withdrawn his application to the board. All six live outside of Texas. The board has been criticized for last week's mass power outage during a winter storm that has claimed the lives of dozens of Texans. More than 4.5 million customers were without power at one point last week. Gov. Greg Abbott had called on ERCOT board members to resign in the aftermath of the crisis and said in a statement Tuesday that he welcomes their resignations, promising to investigate the grid operator."
This is all theater.....TO MAKE THIS PERFECTLY CLEAR -- ERCOT is not a state regulator. It is a group overseen by the TEXAS Public Utility Commission, a group that has escaped much of the scrutiny focused on ERCOT --- and the members of the Commission are appointed by who?? The Governor of Texas. Abbot is up for re-election in 2022 by the way....It's not going to be the cakewalk he thought it was....
This disaster is Enron 2.0, and since Texas wants to be it's own country, it couldn't borrow any electricity from neighboring states, as they are "off the grid". But let's blame windmills.

so he is open for criticism there
but oversight of the electric grid ultimately falls on the Texas Legislature with writes the laws that the PUC enforces
at first I thought green energy was the culprit in all this and it wasnt
for that I deeply apologize to windmill hugging greenies everywhere
the problem was a once-in-a-100 year storm
But, I don't think it is a once in 100 year event any more.... there was a 2011 incident, now this one....
How expensive can it be to winterize the equipment? Be boy scouts, be prepared.
We had one in February of 2011. That's ten years by my calculation.the problem was a once-in-a-100 year storm
The lawsuits against ERCOT have already started. (I am in the know on that) It will be ass rape and they will pay dearly.ERCOT board members who live outside of Texas are resigning in the aftermath of the power outage, winter storm

Somebody held a gun to their heads?No one moves to Texas voluntarily
Somebody's doing it right.they move there because their corporation is lured there by ultra low taxes and absolutely no environmental regulations to worry about
Where do you get these fantasies? Is this what they teach in commie Cali schools to scare kids out of moving here?Corporate is induced by the low taxes, and manufacturers and polluters love that they can pump their waste discharge directly into the river, no questions asked.
