Does anyone remember articles like this? https://www.theatlantic.com/po... We should not forget that the things the national electrical grids needs to be improved for situations just like this, those plans were scuttled due to the Coal lobby's influence with the Trump administration. Texas must really like the flavor of crow. (See Ted Cruz and his "I have no response" to his previous civilization attack on CA.) I feel sorry for everyone hurt by this disaster. But this political blame game gets us no where. We must remember the details and try to do better next time. (This would include that the Green New Deal money, if it happens, be spent wisely.) People complain about wind power, but as long as the price of wind stays so low, you can guarantee that the industry will love to buy it and use it when the weather is nice. We should make the improvements needed for the times things aren't so nice. In the meantime I would guess Texas still won't want to spend the money to winterize.
