What Beta loses in translation is the company wants the utility to pay what they owe. Of course, he ALSO ignores that the company backed off...something i don't think they should have done.
The OTHER thing Beta loses in translation is that winterization was not the true issue...it was the failure to do actual on-site inspections. That issue has been cured. Being on the national grid would be a disaster...we see how well it functioned some of the Southeast as well as the regular failures in Commiefornia. Texas should have told the feds to shove it when the EPA wanted coal taken off-line for power generation.
Beta will ALSO lose on the issue when we get through these next three weeks with no issues. Texas historically has our cold snap in early to mid-February and when the grid doesn't collapse, the Republican candidates will be on him about the chicken-little pronouncements like flies on aggy.
