Trying to cover his ass.

We passed 14 bipartisan bills to reform the Texas power grid after Winter Storm Uri.

Since then, NO Texan has lost power because of the state grid.

This session, we will build upon those reforms to build a grid that powers Texas for the next century. #txlege

Having enough sense to not cut power to the processing plants sending natural gas to the power plants and not depending too much on variable wind and solar were probably the biggest lessons.

There are a few more vulnerabilities that can be addressed, but those were the main issues.

What is that supposed to mean? The power outages had nothing to do with the grid.

Just missing that somebody doesn't understand the difference between "the grid" and their local power lines that were taken down by iced up tree branches.

Thats common sense!
