@GovAbbott allowed ERCOT & PUC to backdoor us during the winter storm. He also allows @GetSpectrum to rob Texans for services not provided. Spectrum should be held accountable for the way they are doing business in this state too.
@Alyssa_Milano We got our power back today (the 4th day). Some people near me are still without power. People cleaned out grocery stores and a lot have spoiled food that went to the trash.
@POTUS It is not okay that we quarantined for months to keep our children safe and they go to school to get infected. In 6 weeks of being back there were positive cases in our elementary schools.
This is what happens when the electrical grid in Texas is privatized, deregulated, and removed from interconnected networks to avoid federal regulation and increase profits to a small number of folk who also happen to sit on the @ERCOT_ISO board. #turnitbackon
@TexasMonthly South Texas. Power went out late late Sunday night and we've been without power since. Pipes froze and burst so no water. Gas is selling out so no camping out in the car.
There is a lot of conflicting "information" about the TX blackouts. Here's the bottom line: the root cause of the TX blackouts is a national and state policy that has prioritized the adoption of unreliable wind/solar energy over reliable energy.
