For what its worth, the rolling blackouts in California resulted in the state permitting a bunch of new plants fairly quickly. With luck that will happen in Texas.
For what its worth, Kenny Boy and Skilling and Fastow had a lot to do with those blackouts.
Wikipedia claims:
These blackouts occurred as a result of a poorly designed market system that was manipulated by traders and marketers, as well as from poor state management and regulatory oversight. Subsequently, Enron traders were revealed as intentionally encouraging the removal of power from the market during California's energy crisis by encouraging suppliers to shut down plants to perform unnecessary maintenance
Sadly, Kenny never did any time and Skilling and Fastow are both now out of jail.
