    So you merely provide evidence that there are no out-of-state power crews working to restore power under a mutual assistance agreement. At best they will possibly get in-state help from other power companies. Just a reminder the mutual assistance from other states to Texas under the agreements outlined by the Texas Mutual Assistance Group are limited to training. All Texas can do is beg these other out-of-state power companies to send people and hire out-of-state non-company private contract line crews. Thanks for confirming this.

    Texas is the sole state in the union which is not tied into the national electric grid and has no viable mutual assistance agreements with out-of-state utilities.

    Of course, as noted in the article the Oncor power company can provide no estimate on when power will be restored. "Trimble said it is impossible to give an approximate time frame of when power will be restored." SAD

    Just a reminder the Texas utility grid remains the most vulnerable in the country to extreme weather events. No effective progress on improvement has been made since 2021 --- there is much more work to do. Praying the Texas grid does not fail again is not a viable strategy.

    The Texas Electric Grid Failure Was a Warm-up
    One year after the deadly blackout, officials have done little to prevent the next one—which could be far worse.

    'Marginally better': Texas power grid still vulnerable to extreme winter weather, federal report warns
    A federal assessment indicates the Texas electricity grid remains almost as vulnerable to extreme winter weather as it was when it nearly collapsed during a prolonged deep freeze in February 2021.

    Since the paragraph I quoted from the article says the opposite, you might want to look at the Evelyn Woodski Slow Reading Course.:D

    Texas won't even meet their proposed Friday evening restoration. Quite SAD.

    And not a single power crew came from out of state under mutual assistance agreements.

    What sort of pathetic third world state is Texas. Even Mexico has power.

    Austin doesn’t know when it’ll fully restore power as hundreds of thousands of Texans remain in the cold
    Close to 325,000 electricity customers statewide lacked power Thursday evening. Austin’s main power provider said it can no longer promise full restoration by 6 p.m. Friday.

    Frustrated Texans still without power days after deadly ice storm

    Because elected DAs are declining to prosecute "crimes" like abortion, birth control, driving while Black, homelessness, and weed, the Texas GOP has proposed bills enabling them to remove any DA and have the Governor appoint a new one. FREEEEEDOMM.

    Texas Republicans, once allied with prosecutors, seek to rein them in
    Some local district and county attorneys have said they will not pursue abortion-related cases, or prioritize certain drug, property and election crimes.

    So, Texas is just done with that whole "separation of church and state" part of the Constitution?
