Original Note:
The weekend heat index in North TX was projected at 111°. In 1935, TX power companies agreed to keep all power in-state. ERCOT (the current system) began in 1970; its role “grew under then-Governor George W. Bush.” Gov Abbott may be culpable for 2021 storm prices. https://cw33.com/news/local/how-hot-is-it-going-to-get-in-north-texas-this-weekend/ https://www.kxan.com/news/texas/the-history-of-ercot-how-texas-became-the-only-state-with-its-own-power-grid/ https://www.axios.com/2022/02/23/texas-power-grid-greg-abbott https://www.texastribune.org/2021/12/28/texas-greg-abbott-power-grid/
