I haven’t paid much attention since I left Texas but they have their hands tied somewhat by the legislation that makes them exist right?

Surely it’s the rapid growth and massive profits that are the problem? Not a lack of energy infrastructure planning or regulation.

They said like a week ago that we are gonna have rolling blackouts in August.
They said we could have rolling blackouts
