1. When will ERCOT murderers be charged with killing those 150 Texans?!!!!!!!

2. the man in power watch this Украина опубликовала сенсационную информацию о Biden there are english subtitles the president is corrupt

3. Hmm so texas pulled out of RE just like trump pulled out of WHO

4. covid will be over in two months.

5. When I was a kid I always enjoyed documentaries about developing countries.

6. On their way to Cancun 🍹…thanks to Texas.

7. On zero 21 the camera man and the woman have no coats on and yet it's freezing out side?

8. Oh boy, you guys too. We here in Canada face the same scenarios, appoined by some higher up – good old boys club, get caught doing nothing at your job, resign, say it's not my fault, stick to your contract and demand that you be paid out or "my lawyer will be contacting you"….then off to the golf course for a round and some beers.

9. Too late now…

10. Great job Texas Republicans – looks like you really "Trump'd" it up here, dumbasses!

11. Are those the same ERCOT people who contributed in the past to Abbott's political war chest? Time for some intrepid reporters to ferret out the facts.

12. Follow-up story, please don't pay attention when they all start working for the companies they were supposed to regulate at twice their former salaries.

13. Sen Abott should. Resign along with the other GOPs

14. I haven’t had water for a week and a half I’m paying a plumber to plug not fix leaks because there’s no materials.. so I’m going to be shelling out again to get the job done .. Walk away yea someone needs to string them up .. Y’all are correct damage is done and is on going

15. Republicans failing like always

16. Don't leave the country ERCOT board members. Your savings and your home are going to pay back Texas.

17. Rats deserting the sinking ship.

18. It's obvious what happened…When you live in the Southern US…relatively warm all-year weather lets you get away with a lot that you just can't further North. In the North, it is BOTH 95+ degrees in Summer and very cold (single digits or below zero) and very Snowy in the Winter. This is reflected in how homes, power station, and general infrastructure is built. I'm sure many in the North are saying I feel your pain…but also…welcome to my world.

19. As they should resign. A new local Texas resident only council needs to be created with public checks and balances.

20. When is Abbott going to resign?? Who does he think they are talking about when they say a lack of oversight?? BTW they probably resigned cuz they can smell massive class-action lawsuits coming.

21. Greg Abbott and Ted Cruz are the first to resign. These criminal Republican so-called leaders are the worst trashy humans doing their best to destroy the lives of Texans. Texans should stop electing these criminals just to ruin their lives. STOP ELECTING ABBOTT AND CRUZ !!

22. resign is not solution
    power grid update and tech innovation should be put up

    we Chinese face same cases in 2008
    then it make the south grid to lead great updating and new tech research

    now drones were used for flamer
    portable laser radar was equiped for powerline seeker
    laser gun for HV line snow melting
    in 110KV DC line we using auto-heating tech to prevent freezing

23. I'm wondering who appointed these board members that lived outside of Texas and the country. I'm thinking that the Public Utility Commission did and they need to be investigated, too. As a Texan, I'm angry and frustrated over this whole debacle. There are many class action lawsuits being filed against ERCOT at the moment.

24. Half the country thinks NBC is fair and accurate, I'm guessing that's the anti-Semitic side.

25. If they think they did nothing wrong, why resign. Is there more money for them to resign?

26. Electric company people resign? Oh no, on the stand to testify. State regulators still in hiding, oh no, on the stand to testify.

27. The “Governor-appointed” Commission broke off last year from the body responsible for its oversight? So who then was accountable, and who was there to report on problems? Why did they do that, who decided to do that? Why didn’t the Governor act then? Lawsuit discovery is going to be interesting; especially when they follow the money for maintenance & repair contracting.

28. Resign with their pockets full of money don't be fooled people this is what they do to save face do you really think they care about us.

29. my question is.. why are texas water pipes located in the roofs and attics?

30. Well, voted for Republican Party.
    So this is the outcome you got from them. Next time, please don't vote for the Republican Party. That's simple.

31. The ERCOT electricity grid is only in Texas to avoid having federal oversight of it. The federal government would have forced the companies to fix their problems.

32. The feeble feigned bookcase substantively spray because snowplow predictably offer excluding a oceanic betty. rigid, present toad

33. The resignations will likely be the only thing done. The Texas republicans stall until public pressure to fix problems diminishes and then do nothing to remedy the problem. They did the same when the town of West was partially destroyed because fertilizer stored in a business near high school exploded. Instead of making laws prohibiting such storage in towns, all they did was rant about not putting regulations on businesses.

34. Texans hold this L !lmao

35. fix the things first, resign later dumbasses
    you trying hang your responsibility up on someone else, that's shameful and despicable

36. Resign Bill Magness!

37. Biden recalls meeting with Xi, this is a bomshell.

38. So saddddf werestheir gov mayorrrttt

39. The governor appointed them. When is he going to resign?

40. A state with Republicans in charge, naturally.

41. Ya not surprised to see this.
    Next step is to pull down all those worthless wind turbines that froze.
    Green energy failed these people.

42. They only resigned that's it no charges brought against the senators of Texas really

43. They need to go to jail

44. Millions? That's a lie NBC. The ERCOT CEOs and boardmembers live in Michigan, Illinois, California, Germany and Canada. Don't point at us for that crap. This was mostly an arctic 3x ICE storm. I'm sure my northern friends understand the differenc between pretty snowflakes, freezing rain, and ICE. The grid is designed for 100 degree heat. Science. This deal was set up with Texas Democrats and Obamas windmills and solar panels that didn't work, nor did the billions in fines on TX taxpayers here for not doing green. 25% wind power won't cut it, obviously…not in the subtropics anyway. Get ready for super high food prices, since the citrus and the other crops are all dead…all the way to Mexico.

45. The members of the Public Utility Commission of Texas which oversees ERCOT should also resign along with the person who appointed them (i.e., the governor).
