I posted that image on FB yesterday.

Texas power seems it is like PG&E... prefers to make money rather than save customer's lives with reliable power. Rather than spend $ fixing leaks in pipes that killed some neighbors, PG&E paid large dividends while wining and dining their regulators... They did the same for trimming trees near power lines. Trees fell during wind, started fires and many died. Corruptifornia at its best.

Good news is this year they trimmed the trees near my home and we had a HUGE wind storm a few weeks ago and power stayed on... in most of the state.

Seems Texas is no different.

"There are things that can be done, but it will cost some money," he added. "About every decade we have these long-sustained periods. And then, you know weatherization is supposed to happen, and then, it doesn't because it costs money."
The windmills in other states that froze have batteries and heaters.... costs more but is reliable.
