Where they were met by an army of people willing to help them. I'm guessing you paid for it with the money earmarked for fixing the power grid?

The Texas GOP's ineptitudes and corruption caused the
#TexasBlackout. They ignored a decade of warnings and don't have the spine to stand up to their corporate interests. It’s a disgrace that we're always fighting against the corrupt political machine that controls Texas. -
Texas lawmakers must mandate changes to the energy infrastructure to improve resiliency in response to the 2021 Texas Winter Storm Freeze. These investments should be paid for by the energy

My friend made this graphic to put
#TexasBlackout in context. The metric only captures outage depth, not duration. ERCOT reported 70.5 hours with load shedding in 2021 (potentially >1,000,000 MWh of load shedding) & 7.5 hours in 2011 (approx 19,000 MWh of load shedding)#txenergypic.twitter.com/b6haY6HL0g

It made no sense. During the 2021 Winter Storm, non-critical commercial buildings maintained power while neighborhoods were left in the dark. We need to prioritize homes and community infrastructure in Texas

500,000 Texans are currently without power. Energy still isn't on the Special Session agenda. We need action from our leadership.

Since the governor is talking responsibilities, an estimated 700 Texans died on his watch during this year's
#TexasBlackout, and as far as I can see, he and his allies have yet to do anything substantive to prevent such a disaster from happening again https://twitter.com/GregAbbott_TX/status/1399428885008236544 …Show this thread -

Data on power outages and rolling blackouts in Texas communities during the 2021 Winter Storm should be made public. These energy disruptions were inequitable and disproportionately hurt rural and low-income areas.
