Millions of Texans lost power when our electrical grid buckled to Arctic storms so cold, they froze our gas pipelines, nuclear water pumps and wind generators. Instead of tackling the problem, we blamed each other.
Politicians across the nation immediately sprang into partisan form, some Democrats blaming Texans for our longtime oil and gas leadership, some Republicans denigrating our thriving wind and solar power infrastructure.
