Again your opinion, as the article explains the subsidies are partially the
blame which you totally ignore, as I sad you are but one opinion of many.

#yiv9066783846 P {margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;}Back to the stone age. The
real villain here is ERCOT. As the group in charge, they ignored basic
winterization, not only for wind generation but for fossil fuel burning and
nuclear. How does he explain that so many of these plants went offline or were
not even operating during or in the aftermath of the storm? Wind is a
relatively small segment of Texas's generating capacity. Of course, Peacock
would rather subsidize oil and "clean coal" which was debunked back in the
Reagan era. [Reuters had an article within the past few days that oil is
becoming scarcer. Expect higher gas prices--soon.]Of course, these problems
never occur in Texas, so why waste money on preparation? Global warming?
Can't you see it's snowing out?10 inches of snow? We had that much a few days
ago, dug out and got on with our lives. Texas had highway disasters and power
failures. Failure to plan is planning to fail.Eric

An other view-
With almost hundreds of thousands of Texans still without power—and many
without water—everyone is looking for someone to blame.
