What's Texas Gov. Greg Abbott done to prevent the energy grid from crashing down?

Once again Texans find themselves facing dangerous critical situations from shutdowns with severe consequences caused by inactions securing a stable and sustainable energy supply from this Gov. . He's been a complete failure for Texans having reliable energy at reasonable costs. The grids failure is not a matter of if, but when, and with these severely high temperatures lives are going to be lost, again.

I have it on good authority that Gov. Abbott has offered three prayers and had as many as two thoughts about the Texas energy grid over the late year and a half. And you call that nothing! For shame.

He doesn't care about Texans. Only his corporate overlords, which is where he'll end up after he's out of his job.

Gov. O'Rourke will hold investigations on these criminals.
