Let's not forget the true heroes of this storm, the lineman.
They answer the call for mutual assistance and go about doing their job, restoring power as quickly and safely as possible. They don't get involved with 5 yr Capex plans, O&M management or the politics of ERCOT. The issue at hand is not their fault.
They serve 24/7, 365 days yr in rain, snow, ice heat and wind.
A rare but dedicated breed.
You probably have seen them working from utilities across the state. It doesn't matter if they're investor owned , city or co-ops , they're all professionals with family and friends praying they return safely.
Just a thank you, a wave or a will certainly make their day.

My son is here with us, mom and dad, getting some rest sleeping in his old bed with no alarm clock. He has put in a ton of hours over the last three days…..soaking wet most of the time.

Praise the lord!

What I want to know, where are all the libtards that were complaining about grid failures a few years ago? Seems to be holding up well now.

Still no power in Blanco County for me until at least Feb 6th. Had to dump the freezer today. No big deal. Ice was pretty bad.

Had a lineman in Holland get electrocuted. Had to be airlifted with significant burns. But he's alive.
