The companies who run the power plants did not winterize as recommended.

“The companies who run the power plants did not winterize as recommended.”

What is ‘winterizing a power plant’?

Did the Texas power planners cut back on building conventional power plants and instead build solar and wind power plants? Or did this cold weather just overwhelm the conventional power plants.

Well, it’s a mess, primarily because of the unusual cold. Not sure anyone deserves a lot of blame.

Correct, they and ERCOT screwed up, spent the money on other stuff.
ERCOT either needs to be disbanded completely. Or the the “leadership” needs to completely overhauled.
I dont blame Abbott, he isnt a strong governor but this isnt his fault.
BUT he better make sure heads roll on this, if he doesn’t then flush him.
