As a Texas resident I think this is a good thing. The real untouched key point is legislature creates the rules and they never designed it with emergency in mind. I doubt it was nefarious at the time in the late 90s.
- galoisscobi 3y agoSo you’re saying sovereign immunity is good because that’s how the legislation was created. Since it wasn’t designed to deal with emergency, it’s okay to not update the position on sovereign immunity?
- infecto 3y agoNope. I am saying like other Texas government services, they all share immunity. If you want that to change then you change the law that covers it. In the case of ERCOT I am less interested in lawsuits but how we change the rules going forward. Do we want to introduce language about emergency power. Have we worked out a fix for not killing power to the natural gas wells? The governor appoints member to the org that ERCOT reports to. I don’t like him but enough voters do that we won’t get change there.
