    Or connect to the national grid that can give you more power in just these situations.

    Texas’ susceptibility to blackouts has long been a concern for the North American Electric Reliability Corp., which has some authority to regulate power plants and oversee grid operators in the U.S.

    and don't operate supply 15% above predicted demand. 15% is the industry standard. ERCOT runs at 7%, more profit for extractive, rentier Capitalists

    long hangover after an all-nighter

    the highly-criticized decision to leave electricity prices at $9,000 per megawatt hour for 32 hours after the outages stopped — 300 times higher than pre-storm prices — led to what an independent market monitor described as a $16 billion pricing error, and $3 billion to $5 billion in unwarranted and potentially recoverable overcharges.
