There's a lot of things that need to be nationalized,the power grid should have been nationalized ages ago.

My understanding of what is going on yields an answer of "no" to that question, so one is left asking what the goal of such a move would be...

I don't know who that is, but I have seen disgusting folks from TX like Cruz, Abott, etc ompare CA to TX. Let them explain why this happened in the "great state of Texas" and why they ran to the federal government after bashing it.

Friends from TX: you have my greatest sympathies, and I hope you suffer no harm. I just want to hear from your governor, lt. governor, and US senators why this happened. They slammed everyone else, but they didn't care about their own state.
