My family just lost power so uh yeah....bad times in Texas. I hope heads actually roll for this and it's a turning point and a wakeup call. You actually have to invest in some things and do things the right way.

If this is anything like when CT's power company screwed the pooch a few years ago on this level, nothing will happen. Ours rebranded to make it seem like there was a new power company put in charge, but it was all bullshit.
The entire state was down for over a week, and some parts took almost a month to get power back, during a massive snowstorm/coldsnap. --- Ryzen 3800x, 6900XT, 32 gig, 970pro, Asus Strix x570-E FC: SW-8431-3263-1243 ... Copied to Clipboard!

Still incredible to consider that the cost to "winterize" wind turbines is like a rounding error in their overall cost and Texas was like "lol no".

Ours rebranded to make it seem like there was a new power company put in charge, but it was all bullshit. CTs issue wasnt with power production though. It was due to downed power lines. The snow ended up on trees near power lines, the trees fell (because the weight of the snow on leaves was too much) and down went the power. That was due to the company not maintaining the trees near power lines. Since then there has been a lot of tree cutting. But even during that time not all were down for over a week. I didnt have power for a day but I live in an area that didnt have many trees near lines. --- AC - Violet on Penny. (N), Rose on Sapphire (S) ... Copied to Clipboard!

remember when in 2011 people told Texas "hey guys, you better winterize your power plants in case you get a storm over the winter" and Texas was all like "SCREW YOUR LIBBY HIPPY RULES AND REGULATIONS BECAUSE THAT SHIT COSTS MONEY" and now people are literally dying so a few rich dudes who own the power plants could profit even more, but hey at least y'all don't have to deal with pesky rules and regulations
