there is plenty of blame to go around for what happened.

People who were responsible for operating the grid, failed.

so-called 'green energy' failed.

Governor Abbott didn't tell fed, 'eff your emissions standards, we need the coal plants and we're cranking them up whether you like it or not'

people did not pay attention to the weather reports and take responsibility for themselves to prepare for this.

sky-high electric bills? blame on both sides, grid operators as well as individuals.
