If you're referring to the 100 year winter freeze, yes maybe it should have been winterized, and they are now, but that's not what I'm talking about.

Maybe all California homes should have A/C for these heat waves. Sometimes it doesn't make sense economically.

I'm talking about having a transmission provider and having ISPs compete on the same lines.

It keeps prices down (unless you tricked into buying variable wholesale via startups like Griddy) and it keeps lines in good shape.

Uh, no. The Texas grid is not winterized now.

They’ve pledged to start work thinking about doing something, sometime soon, maybe.

That’s about as far as they’ve gotten.
