- hosteur 5y agoThat’s not a good argument. 1: damage done by shutdowns is still going on so we don’t even know the full cost. 2: the winter storm is not self inflicted. 3: I am not sure you are right that said winter storm did more damage. Would like a source though.
- erosenbe0 5y agoWhen analyzing the storm I'm not clear are we talking about the power grid alone or the normal organic effects of Texas just not operating well at those temperatures and pipes bursting, frost heave, exposure deaths, etc?
- JaimeThompson 5y agoGas producers not having themselves marked as critical infrastructure so ERCOT would not kill power to them and the failure of plants to winterize themselves are self-inflicted.
