The Electric Reliability Council of Texas is getting a lot of attention as millions of Texans remain without power while the state faces extreme cold.

Meanwhile, ERCOT's recently elected chair and vice chair for the board of directors aren't feeling the chill like we are.

Failures. Every last one needs to be fired, today. Start over with people who know what they are doing.

It’s idiotic to pretend you cant run an electric system without such people. But just for argument say they are just fantastic in their field. (Obviously not)

But where are they now? Is he sitting in Germany? Is he toasty in his Michigan house? If there is a crisis in the system they manage, are they physically there? Or are they managing by zoom?

If they are not managing, why do you need them? For planning and organizing? They obviously suck at that.

Not surprised.

When your worldview is that snow will be a memory in all of the lower 48 by 2025, you do stupid things.

Kind of like how a local city didn’t by salt one year (in Illinois) because they were “assured” that with global warming snow would never happen again.

Well, that guy is now managing a city in Florida and they have salt again.

Some of the others:

Terry Bulger - Mr. Bulger is a resident of Wheaton, Illinois, and holds a master of business administration from the University of Toronto. He also sits on the Board of Directors for Rabobank US and is a member of the Risk (Chair) and Audit Committees.

Raymond Hepper - last address I saw for him was in Massachusetts although he may be in Maine.

Here are the main questions that need to be asked. How many of the ERCOT board members have ever been directly responsible for the operation of an electric generating station or an electric transmission system. How many of them have held a position that required that they decide when, where, and what fuel to use for the next electric power generating plant on the their system or when and where to build the next electric power transmission line? If the ERCOT board of directors consists of university eggheads and environmental so called experts, then this could be the root cause of the problem.

I don’t know. I cannot choose between those photos. On one, I am so happy at the bikini, with the other, I get the thrill and shaking hands of unwrapping my Christmas present.

Honestly, I want them both. And I would treat them so good. I would feed them (sparingly) and give them baths, and exercise them every day. And I would take them on car rides too!

Oh wait, I think I get it. You mean which human body is more at risk from the environment! I got distracted. The operating system for my brain went down like a Texas windmill.
