Pretty much yeah. Texas R’s refuse to integrate their grid with the fed one which would add new rules to theirs and mandate upgrades which could lead to less outages.
In this particular case there might be a bit of shitey business practice as well.
There is a financial incentive to keep things failure prone, because demand pricing allows them to make the same amount of revenue with whatever (lack of) production is available.
So when only a few neighborhoods still have power they just end up paying for the whole damn city. It’s nuts.
Because they don’t want to. Everything they do is designed to enrich their sponsors. The interests of the public are entirely irrelevant.
They don’t want to because they are trying to do everything they can to destabilize the US to appease their Chinese and Russian overlords.
Project 25 anyone?
insulation > isolation
Texas wants it own grid. That’s fine. I don’t want that grid attached to the grid that literally the rest of the US is using.
I’m CERTAIN the Voters of Texas will VOTE OUT the people Responsible for this JUST like they did last Election after the Snowstorms!
