I appreciate the thoughtful response. You raise a lot of good points. I think we may just agree to disagree on ERCOT’s current role. For a nearly lifelong Texas resident, I always thought of them the way you’re describing them. Given the events and outages of the last three years, my perception of them now is that they are much more of a political animal than I had previously understood and frankly are not doing that great of a job of delivering actual results. Again, reasonable people can disagree here, but for me personally, the Texas grid has gone from a point of pride about a well managed system that reliably delivers power to some of the most energy intensive industries in the country (to say nothing of a fast growing population in a not exactly temperate climate) to a creature of the governor and the legislature that’s failing at job one.
