Rick Perry is a member of the political party that has controlled Texas for 20 years now, so there is nobody else to blame. I, a Texan, would welcome regulation when it comes to electric power. Please.

> I, a Texan, would welcome regulation when it comes to electric power. Please. Actually, you do have regulators. It's just that they're incompetent. Anyone who ignored them did fine: > El Paso is not apart of the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), a major grid operator that controls about 90% of the state’s electric load. El Paso Electric, which oversee's the electricity from Hatch to Van Horn, said the Borderland is apart of the Western International grid. […] > El Paso Electric said they always try to prepare for the future and after a winter storm in 2011, the utility company worked towards replacing and upgrading their equipment. Many generators now have antifreeze protection. * https://kvia.com/news/el-paso/2021/02/15/el-pasos-not-seeing-power-outages-like-the-rest-of-texas-and-heres-why/ https://kvia.com/news/el-paso/2021/02/15/el-pasos-not-seeing...

  Are they incompetent or restricted in what they can actually do? Or both?
