Texas Leg passed legislation in 2011 to have ERCOT reviewed whenever the PUC (its regulator) is reviewed: https://www.sunset.texas.gov/reviews-and-reports/agencies/el...

Thanks. I was confused what website I was using. I'm pretty sure there's an HN rule about not telling people this isn't reddit: "Please don't post comments saying that HN is turning into Reddit. It's a semi-noob illusion, as old as the hills."

It has become more political in the past year I've noticed. Oh well. And the same arguments over and over and over and over.

ERCOT has been all in the news for the wrong reason this year. Most obvious was the snowpocalypse back in February. During the fall out of that, the ERCOT board went through personnel changes for various reasons. Now, we're being told by ERCOT that we have to once again limit our electricity use because of their mismanagement of resources. It's Texas. It gets hot during the summer causing people to use their AC units. It doesn't take a rocket scientist or even an HN level hacker to understand that a basic management decision would be to ensure your electricity production would be up to the task. If this isn't worth of discussion, then what is?

Sorry, I meant in general in HN, not anything specific to Texas.
