"Dear Customers, we have totally fucked up the power grid because Greg Abbott said it was OK. You don't mind turning off your a/c and baking to death in your homes for the summer, do you? Those of you who didn't freeze to death while Uncle Ted was on vacay, I mean."

That was my first thought. ERCOT can't handle mild April heat? WTH's going to happen in June, July and August? Perpetual rolling blackouts until we get our first cool front in, which might not be until October?
