ERCOT isn’t in the business of debasing itself to get votes or other political theater. They are tasked with the vital job of keeping Texas’ power grid running. So, when they make statements about climate change that echo the same dismissive attitude, it should grab your attention.

    Understandable but the point is that far right and fascist parties thrive the worse the problems become. They just blame all problems on minorities and sow hatred. As a result, all the pain and frustration from the problems get channeled into their agenda and they get more votes=more power=more money. That happens world wide.

      That whole line of rhetoric is less effective when your state is the only one having catastrophic power issues, and all the other surrounding states are more or less fine.
