Yep. Start with the Chairman of ERCOT Board that doesn't even live in Texas not to mention 4 others. Add a Governor that is seeking reelection, stir in the lies about the wind farms in west Texas, sprinkle and a dash of passing the buck and voilà. The results are as expected with government and private partnerships as one could imagine.
When the same players are seen appearing time and time again in the mix of things tagged for such events, one begins to wonder not only why, but why? That's the old reasoning lesson taught in junior high of "I wonder what I wonder when I wonder it." In short, it is when a red flag goes off in the brain. And with the recent power grid implosion at ERCOT (Electric Reliability Council of Texas:a lot of red flags started popping up.( https://www.statesman.com/story/news/politics/2021/02/16/ercot-board-under-fire-texas-five-out-state-members/6768919002/).The Austin American Statesmen article is certainly one point of view and a signal of red flags.From a political sidebar, ironically, Trumps' Jersey Casino Hotel went out with an implosion at the same time the power grid was failing in Texas. Trump raised a lot of money in Texas for the Republican Party. (https://www.statesman.com/story/news/politics/2021/02/16/texas-gov-abbott-calls-ercot-reform-emergency-item-amid-blackouts/6765855002/)
Still, with at least 5 of ERCOT board members not only not living in Texas, with one living in the Toronto area, Texan's should be mad as heck at ERCOT, TXU Energy, Florida Power and Light, General Motors.NRG and Luminate Energy
