Glad to see Kate Galbraith’s excellent 2011 Texplainer having its time in the sun again #txlege texastribune.org/2011/02/08/tex…

Still confused -- are 3.5 million Texans still blacked out, or 3.5m Texas *accounts* -- corresponding to way more Texans? Who knows the answer? I've been in California for 8 years so I've forgotten my old tricks. Russell Gold ?

No, frozen wind turbines are not the main culprit for Texas' power outages. bit.ly/2LWG433

Texas grid fails to weatherize, repeats mistake feds cited 10 years ago bit.ly/3rYpFum

The Texas grid got crushed because its operators didn’t see the need to prepare for cold weather #txlege washingtonpost.com/business/2021/…

Hello from 2012, it's me with a story to tell. Hed: Texas’ Future: Blackouts and Higher Prices? Dek: Even if the PUC raises power prices, blackouts may be inevitable. texasobserver.org/texas-future-b…

City of Austin now asking residents to stop dripping water to conserve dwindling supply. Won’t this mean our pipes will burst from the freeze, resulting in even more wasted water? & expense, potential loss of shelter bc of damaged homes? Really don’t know responsible thing to do.

Morgan Smith We actually do need to stop dripping! Pipes will only freeze if it is below 28 degrees for more than 4 hours. We have dangerously low water in our system right now so to conserve water for emergencies we need to stop!

@juliealex1963 Morgan Smith Morgan Chesky Not anymore! It has warmed up enough. We need to save that water for emergencies!

Sigh.

.Austin Water has issued a citywide boil-water notice as a result of "extreme weather conditions."

Texans’ current chill was caused by rapid heating in the stratosphere, the second-lowest section of the atmosphere, 5-30 miles above the Arctic econ.st/3puuyK2

Congressman Marc Veasey tells CNN an industry exec informed him that Texas was "minutes away from the entire grid crashing" before the state began its targeted blackouts cnn.com/2021/02/17/wea…

Wow. Total David Dewhurst move.

I sure hope a deeply sourced reporter who is also an exquisite writer is working on a tick-tock about how close Texas was to a statewide blackout this week. #txlege

I’m not a state elected official or operating a natural gas plant so I guess there’s nothing I can do to help out my fellow suffering Texans. See y’all in Cancun!

The largest forced power outage in US history... Tick-tock #txlege

Not a god damn thing has changed. #txlege

In 2013, Rep. Herrero added this same amendment on house budget night, to kneecap a voucher bill from then-Senator Dan Patrick, by a vote of 103 to 43. A little movement in 10 years, but not that much! #txlege
