发帖数: 2555 | 1 No one expects Cruz to fix the problems with Texas power grid.
Cruz isn't a power grid expert. Nor, as a senator, does he have any ability
to effect immediate change in the way the Electric Reliability Council of
Texas (ERCOT), which runs the Texas grid, operates. (ERCOT is overseen by
the Texas state legislature and the state's Public Utility Commission.)
But in moments of crisis -- and there are millions of Texans in crisis right
now -- people look to politicians for comfort and reassurance. And they do
it even if they know that no one particular politician has the ability to
help them out of their current problems. They do it because, in theory, our
elected officials are leaders in our community and, therefore, are
responsible for bringing the community together in moments of tragedy or
catastrophe. |
