“This is unsustainable for a city that bills itself as the energy capital of the world.”
Just as ERCOT faced a reckoning after the great freeze, our power distributors must face a post-Beryl reckoning. The status quo is unacceptable. This is unsustainable for a city that bills itself as the energy capital of the world. spacecityweather.com/houston-deserv…
Delightful piece about being a Houston Astros fan (or significant other) during this frustrating season.
I spent an evening watching my fiance watch the @astros I learned something about the world of Houston fandom — and about marriage. (Note: Any baseball-related errors are mine alone and do not reflect on my fiancé nor the @HoustonChron sports desk.) houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-t…

Houston ISD's new superintendent hasn’t eliminated as many jobs as he suggested, and he’s spending more on the highest-paid administrators.
Texans would love a hint about how long a rolling blackout could last -- 15 mins or several hours? And a heads-up by region would really help. Is that possible?

Two of Texas’ most famous trial lawyers will present the case against impeached AG Ken Paxton in the Texas Senate. This will be something to watch.
High-powered attorneys Dick DeGuerin & Rusty Hardin will present the House impeachment case in @KenPaxtonTX's upcoming Senate trial. "This is not about punishing Mr. Paxton," DeGuerin says. "The people of the state of Texas are entitled to know whether their top cop is a crook."
Breakthrough in Texas in gun reg. House committee suddenly passes bill to raise age limit for semiautomatics to 21. Big victory for Uvalde families.

Very troubling that HB5, Texas' awful Chapter 313 corporate giveaway, exposed in a series of stories by the @HoustonChron, has passed the house -- and with a lot of Democrats' votes. Why?

With new Inflation Reduction Act funding, the IRS was able to provide 87% of customer calls this tax season with live support, up from 15% last year. The average time on hold decreased from 27 minutes to just four. Gov't works when you let it work.
#BREAKING: Justice Alito has issued an administrative stay of Judge Kacsmaryk's ruling in the #mifepristone case until 11:59 p.m. ET on Wednesday. Bottom line: No part of Kacsmaryk's ruling will go into effect at midnight tonight.
The fabulous @meganmuncie passed this SCOOP along to me for a @HoustonChron story: Houston Better Business Bureau revokes CenterPoint’s accreditation over pattern of complaints houstonchronicle.com/business/energ…
Stunning in many ways.
Stunning story by @peterbakernyt about powerful Texas politicians who went to the Middle East in 1980 on a secret mission orchestrated by one of them: to get Iran to hold onto US hostages to help swing election to Reagan, who was running against Carter. nytimes.com/2023/03/18/us/…

A Good New Year to all when it comes and may you approach 2023 with the tolerance of Olive. Or simply be more like Mabel, with her unwavering yet enormously misplaced belief in her abilities.
I spent the morning talking to some smart grid people. Here's what I learned: 🔌 Power demand last night shattered ERCOT's expectations for max use this winter 💡With a boost from wind power, electricity stayed on. 🥶 Tonight is still going to be a test. texastribune.org/2022/12/23/erc…
