this problem falls well within criminal negligence.  I'm hoping some DA follows up and hang these bastards by their gonads.  They had been warned and took a decade of doing nothing about it and now there are dead people because of them.

So let me get this straight.

Everything east of El Paso inside Texas (MOL) decided to run their own grid, and "regulate it" through a Texas-only agency that had no authority to actually make changes to deal with extreme weather events.

Said agency made "suggestions" and/or "encouragements" and pretty much none of the power producers decided to do squat about it.

Now, disaster hits, and the state is going to get $billions to bail them out.

Seems to me, the legislature is to blame, but (probably) most of them involved at the time (~~ 2011) are either retired or out of office in some other way.

Does that sum it up, or am I getting a distorted view from way out here?
