ERCOT interim CEO Brad Jones said in a statement. "ERCOT will deploy all the resources and aggressively implement the tools available to us to manage the grid reliably during this winter weather."

Earlier this week, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) warned that power outages could be a possibility this week, but said he did not expect the rolling blackouts of last year.


Fucking worthless corporate owners of a worthless governor.

This is the time to promote Beto O'Rourke, even though he's got $38 mil so far. https://betoorourke.com
