@charlie hall,
“Cruz has opposed efforts to make Texas power suppliers and T&D companies in the ERCOT portions of the state, comply with the same reliability requirements as non-ERCOT Texas utilities and those in the other 47 states subject to FERC jurisdiction.”
Energy deregulation was pushed by both parties in Texas including Gov. Ann Richards, Around 1992 Texas governor Ann Richards started planning policy and technical initiatives for renewable energy, convinced that most of the previous attempts at energy independence had been little more than “a declaration of war in one place or another.”
Richards’ initiatives fed into the 1999 state electric market deregulation, signed by then-governor GW Bush, which included a 2,000 MW target for wind energy. By 2005, then-governor Rick Perry signed a bill that more than tripled the requirement with a goal of 2015.
So hardly a GOP plot.
And you have yet to respond to the very long long long list of Democat Covid hypocrites.
PS there are millions of NE snowbirds who are guilty of the same the that Cruz did, flee bad weather
