        Yeah, it sucks for all the little people that have to drive a gas powered car...



        What is the hell is wrong with these people? Just go buy a Tesla, man.

          You still had Comcast until a few years ago.
          Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

                    It’s like cnn wants to blame someone but they don’t know who to blame but they decided to run the article anyway.

                    This line is also funny: “About the only thing that hasn't been hurt by the hacking attack that shut down the Colonial Pipeline? The company's market value.” I can’t figure out what they mean. I guess because it’s not a public company the stock price didn’t go down? Don’t reporters take remedial business classes?

                        That's a low bar.

The focus of the power grid has always been hot summers and hurricanes. I think Texas is now realizing they need some additional focus on cold winter weather given the possibility of more extreme winter weather. I have confidence they will adapt and make regulatory changes that are necessary. The biggest change being more regulation (come on PUC!) of winterizing power plants and wind turbines.

                              But the real question is whether all that cost is even worth it. We don’t bury all transmission and distribution lines even though some of them always get knocked down in hurricanes. We don’t do that because the price tag is too high and people feel that going without power for a week is better than spending $7 billion to bury lines, not to mention the increased cost in servicing those lines.

                              While Texas focuses on colder winters they may also want to get ready for, ya know, summer too.

                                Ha, yeah, it’s pretty clear the green energy boom in Texas is causing havoc on the grid. Wind energy has plummeted and not enough gas/coal to keep up with increased demand and decreased wind energy.
