  1. I have a great idea. I’ll shut off your electricity for a few days during a record Arctic cold blast due to my own incompetence. That way all your pipes will freeze and cause a few thousand dollars worth of damage to your home making it unlivable. Then I’ll send you a monthly utility bill for a few thousand dollars. Then you can sue me or even better, get the government to fine me for a few hundred million and they can spend the money as they wish. Then I’ll pass on the cost to all our customers including those other customers who didn’t freeze. We are prepared. Don’t worry, we got this…

  2. The Texas GOP must be ecstatic – With the Disaster declaration they've found a method to PRIVATIZE electric grid profits while SOCIALIZING losses. It's dream come true for the protectors of the rich.

  3. Texas lawmakers: "why did we have so many disastrous blackouts?"

    ERCOT: "might it have anything to do with the fact that you geniuses don't want texas to connect to the rest of the country's power grid, coz you cheapskates hate big guvmint?"

  4. Ted Cruz can acquit ERCOT and will tell people he wanted to go to Cancun instead of helping them out and die hard Cruz fans still Vote for him to be in Congress.

  5. Imagine if the entire country lost power from a solar flare or something people would absolutely lose they're minds we are so dependent on the system

  6. When getting water for the toilet don't fill the tank use less water by pouring it in the toilet bowl until flushed less water less trips to or with bucket. Think smart 😍

  7. Americans complaining about any inconvenience is always dreadful but in this case. Texas has every right to be upset for the lack of preparation. It really was an unfortunate week man

  8. How about Texas lawmakers face Texans after deregulating our power grid to the point dollar bills became more important than taxpaying constituents' lives???

  9. the man in power watch this Украина опубликовала сенсационную информацию о Biden there are english subtitles the president is corrupt

  10. Lending a hand?? Nice way to cover up the fact that he's going to make s killing doing repairs. It's all about money and opportunity

  11. Biden refuses to declare many of the counties that were worst hit as disaster areas. Report on THAT. BIDEN is playing politics with peoples lives here!

  12. The lawmakers knew of the issues for 10 yrs and now that it has come true its the power companies fault,
    I feel no pity for said lawmakers, they have done riled themselves a mess of Texans.
    This time the lawmakers will be the ones inside of the alamo

  13. Claiming the windmills don't have operating specs that tell you what temps are operable?
    All machines tell you what is the lowest temperature they can operate at.
    Now that specs for new windmills will be subzero..
    Hindsight? They knew

  14. I am betting that the Republican dominated legislature will end up finding that the energy companies did nothing wrong and it was all the windmills fault

  15. Just wait till a solar mass ejection hits us, no power for years. Funny thing is the powers that be have known about it as a very viable threat for decades but no backup plans or transformers to date. Good luck.

  16. Why don't we have a real time American Debt watcher so we can see the debt being paid off… It can be on the news or on the internet. It can even be an app on your phone.

  17. It's the consequence of the lack of Regulation that the Texas Republican Leadership has put in place.
    Just a repeat of 2011 but worst.
    The GOP working for the power company's, not for the people of Texas…
