So, about those blackouts…
Deadly blackouts that killed hundreds of people across Texas in 2021 — which have been widely blamed on failures to properly insulate gas pipelines — may have had a more nefarious cause, a new lawsuit alleges.
Over the past three years, a wave of new data — and lawsuits — have made the case that the outages were, in fact, a result of market manipulation by some of Texas’s biggest fossil fuel companies.

“But on Monday, company lawyers argued that even if the claims were true, the Harris County courthouse didn’t have jurisdiction, because the 2021 state legislative session had established a process which, ultimately, ruled that the sky-high profits by the defendants were fair”
This is likely true. The game is rigged, the rubes might wake up and get angry and promptly vote all the perps back in for their 8th term in the Leg.

The reason the grid had to be shut down to avoid collapse is because the energy being generated was insufficient to sustain the grid. The reason there was insufficient energy to sustain the grid is because it’s isolated from the rest of the US’ grid infrastructure. The reason it is isolated from the rest of the US’ grid infrastructure is to avoid federal oversight. The reason to avoid federal oversight is to do shady shit without anyone seeing.
The whole thing is a grift and a scam.
