You are correct that he held that position under Trump and bears responsibility for problems with federal regulations.
However, his strict anti-federal stance goes back many years. He did not adopt it or even emphasize it to make excuses for this situation. He's just like that.

Perry was governor in 2011 when it was undoubtable improvements were necessary if another freeze like that were to be mitigated to a greater degree rather than exacerbated like we have seen occur instead.
Present Governor Abbot followed Perry and Abbot is just the opposite of advanced.
He had plenty of time to improve the situation, whether it was regulation or ERCOT reorganization or any number of other details that ratepayers have already paid for for decades, no one else was in a stronger position to do something to make up for Perry's Bozoness.
And Perry,
>He's just like that.
Even less advanced.
What's the opposite of advanced anyway?
I thought so.
As in, he was the federal regulator who failed here. There's a self interested reason to bad mouth federal regulation to avoid blame
