“Love the idea of trying bring esoteric details of our coming energy transition to a wider audience and make the wonky details relatable. More of the public needs to understand how important this is and get engaged.
In practice the first season seemed to miss the mark weaving in the Texas story without ever actually explaining why any of this happened. 100% of the blame needs to go to the decades long campaign by TXOGA and the O & G industry to resist regulation, resist weatherization or anything that would increase costs even marginally. And yes the TX legislature that happily played along. Weatherization and requirements to store gas reserves were nonexistent in TX compared with other states. In any other state the 2011 freeze would have resulted in actual changes not suggestions. Louisiana and NM had massive ice storms that same week but virtually no blackouts. The post-blackout Leg session very nearly saw TXOGA defeat weatherization again. The governor ordered wind generators to pay for a problem it didn’t create.
I get that some of the experts interviewed aren’t in a position professionally to point fingers at politicians, but you need to have guests on that can actually explain why decision makers made these decisions. These things didn’t just happen because the grid is complicated. Decision makers made them happen.”
