The Eyes of Texas Are Upon You

In the wake of the February 2021 historic grid failure in Texas, misinformation and self-serving recriminations have sprung up faster than mushrooms on the Texas prairie. In Episode 2 of the Energy Markets Podcast, former FERC Chairman Jon Wellinghoff talked about he causes of the blackout as ERCOT and local utilities were still struggling to restore power, and very confidently asserted that neither renewable energy resources nor ERCOT's competitive market were to blame. Jon also talks about the policies that regulators and lawmakers should pursue going forward in order to meet the goal of a zero-carbon grid by 2035 at least cost to consumers.
