    “Texas needs to be less dependent on the federal government, not more. These politicians want to mismanage our electric grid just like they mismanage our border,” the statement said.

    I don’t think it’s objectively possible to be more mismanaged than the current Texan electrical grid.

      It’s perfectly managed if your priority is corporate profits…

      If you want the cheapest, most environmentally friendly, or stable supply, well, then youre not the priority.

        I don’t even know if it’s corporate profits, that’s actually a drawback to the corporate grid(see Enron’s intentional mismanagement of California’s energy grid)

        It’s just pure power for the ruling elite of Texas.

          Keeping their grid only in Texas allows their energy sector to skirt federal regulations since it doesn’t fall under the Interstate Commerce Clause.

          Skipping federal environmental and Safety regulations allows texas energy Corporations to be more profitable.
