RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:CLEAN ENERGY MY FKING AZZ ERCOT serves only Texas, as does the Texas Reliability Entity. No other entities have authority over the state's energy producers because the energy producers have all agreed not to extend power beyond state lines, which would have opened them up to federal regulation. So yes, I do have my facts correct.

As for what the report will say, it will likely say the same thing that a report in 2011 said when Texas had a similar problem. Texas needs to winterize its grid. But that report was ignored by then governor Rick Perry, who recently stated that Texans would prefer to go without power than have their power generators submit to regulation. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/texas-power-outtage-rick-perry-keep-feds-out-of-their-business And actually, that report echoed another report in 1989.

So Texas has ignored this problem for over 30 years now.
