The board is....the CEO is responsible for the planning and operations obviously.

Because the fish stinks from the head down.

If the blame goes anywhere other then the state you have taken your eye off the ball.

Explain.

Ercot gave the state recommendations back in 2011 when the same thing happen, but is a much smaller size, the recommendation go to the state, railroad commission, and the PUC. They did next to nothing about it, and here we are...... the problem is moving critical fail points inside. I'm guessing everyone thought it was too expensive to do anything about, and just resorted to pushing more paper, and not actually enclosing critical components.... Ercot has no power, the state does. Blame the state..... politics are at play here.

So the state was supposed to dictate insulation of pipes

[censored] you're dense. I've explained it, ad nauseam, to you but in one ear & out the other.

Which agency/organization is responsible for planning power generation plants and deciding which energy source gets preference for baseline power generation (determines profitability of power generation)? That is who is responsible for this mess.

This was definitely his plan all along.

Lighten up Francis, and you've explained nothing......

I would bet they had a sales spike here in Texas.

Duplicity, cheating, crookery,cunning, dirty rotten, scoundrel.

So what happens when all the poor folk can't afford electricity due to the increased cost from winterizing power plants?

Ercot say it is not on their GAS list.

It spoke volumes when I learned the former Board Chairperson had said she had no idea how the problems could be remedied. Another example of incompetence put in place in order to satisfy politically correct compliance. I wouldn't be surprised if several of those former Board members knew enough about electricity to be able to wire a lamp.

The CEO said he wouldn't accept/take or receive any severance or salary.

Sad 🙁 when people can’t do there job correctly!

Hat tip to him. Interesting and tells me a lot. He might of had his hands tied on a few things. In due time it will all come out

It will be more deadly in the summer,

Whole point of green energy is to increase costs exponentially causing less usage.

Yepper..........Texans are about to see a big increase in energy price over the next few years.........barrel of oil going to 100 shortly. Better get a part time job to afford Biden and Xi.

That is the only way to make the numbers work for the Green $$$ deal.

our next house in the US is gonna be less than 1000 sf............with a window unit and a wood stove.

No more of these big houses and big bills

Bye

That’s a great plan!
