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?

Because the state controls pricing, and most don’t allow enough profit to
upgrade. And why not the consumer paying? What every other business
requires. If not, they experience bankruptcy court.
