@FrankPasquale The post-#Beryl failure of the #ElectricalGrid in #Houston is unacceptable in the Great State of #Texas. #UnitedStates Senator #CancunCruz will get right on it!
White House announces actions to modernize America’s #ElectricalGrid, paving the way for clean energy and fewer outages
"The new initiative between the feds and 21 states aims to make faster fixes and improvements to the grid, committing to build a bigger and more modern grid as part of a larger effort to reduce power outages and increase electrical transmission capacity – a massive hurdle to getting more #CleanEnergy on the grid."
