More from my terrific conversation with Michael Webber at the University of Texas.
Michael is well known for having thought deeply about how the grid works and where it’s going. I’m pairing his insights with a long analysis from E&E News, which I excerpt here, but by all means go to the link and give it a scan.
Nearly a month after an arctic blast crippled Texas’ main power grid, questions continue to fly about how to prevent a similar disaster from occurring again.
Gov. Greg Abbott (R) has directed lawmakers to address the electricity crisis during their current session. He and others are also calling for power pricing errors to be corrected and for an overhaul of the grid operator.
