Hack the Texas grid or not? That other story line sounds to pretty for some reason.

No they didn't. The bottom line is that ERCOT is led by a bunch of dummies. Hanlon's Razor applies.

So your narrative is that a multi billion dollar company is just dumb, and not controlled? I'm not attacking you. Just asking if that's what you believe.

First of all, ERCOT is not a multi-billion dollar company, its a 501c4 (aka "social welfare agency"). Nominally it behaves as a regulatory entity:

Secondly, yes, they are that dumb. I am an exec at an energy company and we have dozens of people that go to regulatory meetings at every ISO/RTO, including ERCOT. Their lack of forethought here, and over-reliance on renewables, has been an outstanding concern.

Fuck yeah - Biden and the Bolsheviks and the Chinese communist party joined hands to fuck us with the help of Electric Panda and Electric Reliability Committee (ERCOT) and countless other constant assaults. Remember Covid began the very next day after impeachment failed! No coincidences
