#AustinEnergy is already trying to prime us for #blackouts. (They could happen at any time for any reason! Be prepared! Our regulator #ERCOT is totally last on this list!)

Looks like conservatives are trying again to privatize Austin’s public energy utility, this time using a strategy of weaponized red tape.

State Rep. Ellen Troxclair just filed a slew of bills -joining others- that target Austin Energy, the city's publicly-owned electric utility. Among other things they propose removing City Council's direct management of the utility. 1/ https://capitol.texas.gov/Search/DocViewer.aspx?ID=88RHB042081B&QueryText=%224208%22&DocType=B

How it started vs. How it's going

...I'm so glad I drove up to Dallas to stay with my mother, this is ridiculous

I guess we're going to lose everything but the pickles in our refrigerator, and everything in the freezer, after three days without power. I can't believe the major intersections near my house still don't have working traffic signals. Haven't seen one Austin Energy vehicle in our neighborhood. 220 homes in Skyview without power, no update on timeline for restoration. Mayor Watson, where are you? #Austin #cityfail #austinenergy #austinicestorm #Arborgeddon
