@7d199f28 Huge companies are going to love Texas when they end up losing millions in blackouts. 

I mean even looking at it from a hyper-capitalistic standpoint, these decisions don’t make any sense. How are you going to run a factory, an oil refinery, a datacenter reliably in Texas? Unless you go back to the Electricity 1.0 era where each place needed it’s own powerhouse. But you’re not going to run a 50MW arc furnace with solar panels on your property. Not yet. 

 @17973f91 Well it's one of the many contradiction of hyper-capitalism.

If the government is never supposed to intervene into the market for the market to function properly, then it's not supposed to intervene even when the market is actually getting dysfunctional.
