So surprisingly a couple things have actually happened. Renewables are still showing explosive growth, it helped stave off as many rolling blackouts this summer. Also, they finally agreed to tie into the national grid.
Now, did they actually winterize and help prevent what happened a few years ago? Who knows, we haven't been told shit so probably not.
Well, credit where it’s due I suppose.
Perhaps that explains why legislators keep finding time to meddle in people’s pants.
I was completed floored about the tying into the national grid part. I never thought I’d see that in my life.
Knowing them, it was probably just cheaper to tie in vs fixing anything. Also our explosive population growth would have made boosting our infrastructure almost impoosible...oh wait I meant cost them too much money.
