I looked at this before it was taken down. Seems like may of the board members were lawyers. How does being a lawyer qualify you for overseeing a power grid?

The electric power industry is technologically mature but fraught with legal and political issues that arise between its investor ownership and its public obligations as a regulated monopoly. Now a weather crisis has made them all look like fools and put the traditional arrangements in doubt.

Not unusual...cuz every bit of this power is contracted and that relates to the grid. Board members don’t work in the field ya know.
