Re:The Texas power outage is a nation-wide problem by joe_the_user on Thursday February 18, 2021 @06:35PM (#26187358)
Yes, the lack of regulation around winter weatherization. Lack of regulation is a product of the broad trend to deregulation. California has suffered PG&E's despicable policies fueled by deregulation, that have also killed dozens of people and caused billions of dollars of property loss. So it's not a Texas only problem. But it certainly is a behavior of Texas (Government, regulators and industry) problem just as California's problems are a behavior of California (Government, regulators and industry) problem.
