You'd think the folks responsible for overseeing Texas' independent power grid would at least live here in the Lone Star State.
It turns out that's not always the case, but perhaps that will change after five out-of-state Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) board members resign today.
In a document released by ERCOT Tuesday, the electrical grid operator announced the resignation of four "Unaffiliated Directors" in the wake of the spectacular failure of the system during last week's winter storm: Sally Talberg (Board Chairman), Peter Cramton (Board Vice Chairman), Terry Bulger (Finance and Audit Committee Chairman) and Raymond Hepper (Human Resources and Governance Committee Chairman).
