Isn't it great that a bought-and-paid-for privatization puppet like
Texas Governor Greg Abbot demands that socialism once again bail out
capitalism?

Abbot says lawmakers must require the state's private power supply
companies to weatherize the state's power plants - and taxpayers and
households must pay for the weatherization.

The power companies should pay for the upgrades and their shareholders
should foot the bill. They deliberately avoided doing what was
necessary...why should households in Texas be forced to pay the bill for
the fix?

Consumers always end up footing the bill whether it is in the price of
product or in taxes. If you think so much money is to be made in
utility company stock, buy some.
