Nashville was blasted for many days. Today is the first day above freezing, so now the broken pipes are showing up everywhere as the ice melts in the pipes. Thankfully, I scheduled a trip to the beach two days before it hit.
I got no idea who you are referencing, but I’m not on the Epstein list at least.
ERCOT should have been better prepared...those people should still be alive.More than 90 dead after fierce US winter storms

The deaths include at least 25 in Tennessee and 16 in Oregon
It sounds like most of the deceased died on the roads.ERCOT should have been better prepared...those people should still be alive.
Oh, wait. We're hearing the other States ALSO have issues and that ERCOT did just fine.

That's a brilliant suggestion.Why didn't ERCOT make the roads warmer?!?
That's a brilliant suggestion.
ERCOT could construct solar panels and heaters along every road, with warming coils connected to them and running just beneath the surface of the roads. That should work--I couldn't see anything possibly going wrong. Pay for it with a 50% sales tax on all the items I don't like and don't buy anyway.
They have heated driveways now. Not sure if bridge mechanical forces make it impossible.I actually pitched this idea for bridges in an engineering class in the 90's except not powered by solar since it wasn't yet a thing back then. Heating elements built into the concrete that could be turned on in icy conditions. I was told every reason why it wouldn't work, but I figure every problem is solvable.

Darn Vol. Way to think out of the box over 20 YEARS ago.
Very impressed.

Former ERCOT CEO: Texas Gov. Greg Abbott Pressed Grid Operator To Keep Prices At $9,000 Per Megawatt-Hour During Crisis
Old news, but more info:
"In the annals of awful electric grid management, the decision to keep the wholesale price for electricity on the ERCOT market at $9,000 per megawatt-hour – and leave it there for three days longer than needed – during the electricity crisis that slammed Texas a year ago, will go down as one of the worst.
Who made that decision? In testimony in a federal bankruptcy court in Houston, former ERCOT CEO Bill Magness pointed the finger at Texas Gov. Greg Abbott. The testimony was made in the bankruptcy trial of Waco-based Brazos Electric Cooperative, which is challenging $1.9 billion in costs it incurred during the crisis that forced it into Chapter 11."
I’ve been going to Aspen since ‘67 and have lived there on and off over the decades. There are no such public sidewalks…some private properties have it…IMHO one might never listen to the dudes from Michigan.A dude from Michigan just told me that last week when we were freezing in Austin. Also, I think Aspen has heated sidewalks for all those poor skiers in town. I forget who told me that (senior moment), but I didn't experience it first hand.

I was wrong then..these sidewalks didn’t exist until recently. I quit going to Aspen once the Californians took over around 2014. Bozeman, Jackson mo bettaHa. To be clear, the Michigan guy only told me about the driveways in Michigan. It was another source that informed me on the Aspen sideways. See

Hope they get their power restored soon. I remember what it was like and it's no fun.Over 1.5 million Texans without power due to Hurricane Beryl. Why can't Republicans make power lines that can withstand hurricanes?!! /s
