#AbbottFailedTexas Developments as State Electrical Authority Warns of Potential Energy Outages Once more – This Time in Warmth Wave
At least 151 Texans died over the winter when 4.5 million households and businesses went without power due to massive failures caused by poor planning, lack of regulation, and sheer greed.
Texas Republicans last week Governor Greg Abbott promised to fix the problem.
All that had to be done was to fix the Texas power grid.
Today I signed draft laws at LAW to reform ERCOT, weather it and improve the reliability of the state power grid.
Thank you @ KHancock4TX, @DrSchwertner, and @chrispaddie for your guidance on these issues. pic.twitter.com/sXH5NTZ4Jq

On Monday, less than seven days later, ERCOT, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, asked customers to set the air conditioning to no cooler than 78 degrees and to save electricity as more power outages are expected during the week – this time at extreme heat.
In a statement, ERCOT also called on Texans not to use ovens, washing machines or dryers.
“If you don’t need something – we ask you to switch it off and, if possible, to disconnect it from the mains.”
BREAKING: ERCOT is now urging people to save electricity by Friday, says a significant number of power plants are offline and expects a possible record consumption for June. pic.twitter.com/zWZkf0bkPq

Many Texans and many Americans are angry.
Start by disrupting the governor’s mansion power. Our network is not stable and the consumer pays higher prices. But regulation is bad ??? # AbbottFailedTexas https://t.co/sODJ5CrfZ5

Thanks to @GovAbbott, we are already told on one of the first hot days to save electricity.
They did not DETECT the grid because they were too busy setting women vaginas and preventing POC from voting.
VOTE @GregAbbott_TX in 2022 to save TEXAS !!! #AbbottFailedTexas https://t.co/a97aR7DO2u

ERCOT CANNOT PROCESS COLD OR HEAT. Somebody should check the flight logs to Cancun. I’m sure Cruz is on his way there. And fuck Abbott #AbbottFailedTexas too

… are you kidding me, Texas ?!
ERCOT: Our grille was not built for such cold temperatures !!!
ERCOT: um … it’s too hot! How could we ever have guessed that! https://t.co/vlqcXW6wUN

What could go wrong with a combination of the Texas summer power outages and the new Concealment and Carrying Act for All? #AbbottFailedTexas

ERCOT has again warned Cancun that Ted Cruz could be back sooner than expected.

If you listen carefully, you can hear Ted Cruz book a flight to Cancun https://t.co/gmPLkaeMXi

We need Beto.
Now, while Abbott babbles over a bloody wall, we need to fix our bars. It’s going to be a long, hot summer.
