Bill Magness, president and CEO of the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, told state senators, “I feel a great deal of responsibility and remorse about the event… but I believe the operators on our team did everything they could have.”

Watch: ERCOT Chief Tells Texas Senate He Wouldn’t Have Managed Power Grid Differently | NBC News NOW
When will ERCOT murderers be charged with killing those 150 Texans?!!!!!!!
Greg hired him.
Political corruption deserves public executions.
The media has such a strangle hold on our society that we will never be treated fairly by our overlords
Honestly not totally Ercot’s fault ..of course they should have better conveyed the issues to Texan leadership prior to the storm and should have worked better with the other electronic companies that support the grid ..but they don’t manage nor regulate power generation. Sounds like they did what they can to keep the system balanced and the bigger issue is the power generation sources and the deregulation. Texas leadership needs to instill better policies and regulation to weatherize the system with the priority in the main power plants …if there is not enough power and demand skyrockets, how can Ercot distribute – their only choice was for planned outages which is in line with their policies and practices.
What the ceo deserves for electricity is the Texas department of correction's chair and a Public Urinal with his name and face on the backsplash.
Texas government = dumpster ðŸâ€ÂÂ¥
Why has no one asked the Power Generation companies why ERCOT's 2011 post power outage recommendations where not followed. This is not rocket science and Texas is trying to keep these power companies safe and happy with money.
The individual or group that decided not to winterize their energy infrastructure when the last cold weather event took place are to blame.
These â€â€Ââ€â€Âtrds need to be held accountable. My pool is ruined and I’m sure insurance won’t pay for the repairs. 26 hours with no power!
\\ 3 TIMES BRAVO !!! TO PRESIDENT BIDEN //// I was wrong to partially astray write by simple extrapolation of POTUS BIDEN. Yet history overflows: – Wait and see – just a negotiation on a deal? – Anyway, I do hope, no strike needed again, hope that what SA LABELED: The Iranian leader is 'VERY MUCH LIKE HITLER" – But next just GOES BACK TO HIS OWN LAND – AND COMPLETELY STOP TORTURING SYRYA and, with its-HEZBALLAH – THE LAND AND GREAT PEOPLE OF LEBANON. Who know? – Years ago we had peace with Iran, I even gave a lecture at university of Tehran — and we deeply owe the nation, would always owe, with reverence, the reconstruction of the HOLIEST, Second TEMPLE OF JERUSALEM. YES, VERY SAD IS THE RECENT FACT, A PAST POTUS, WITH GOOD INTENSIONS, TAINTED THAT GRAND HISTORY, WELL, NOT JUST THAT.
The socialists put on a great show, guilt is decided before an investigation, pretty rough, but a good show.
They are oppressed by a spirit of stupid/dumb. Only deliverance from Yahweh will change anything. ðŸ™ÂÂ
Hang them all! Jesus Christ, how could you not take responsibility for fuxking up an entire state.
Did anyone ask him if his home lost power? Answer: no because I knew it was coming, I have a generator. I’m rich.
Governor canceled the funds. Profits over preparedness.
texas is in a mess of aftermath. ercot is guilty
That's what happens when you let businessmen run utilities or government, they save money not lives.
That CEO listen to is experts and did what they can do. Being a mechanical engineer I know how it feels when your boss doesn't listen and just keeps pushing for projects with no time. They had no time to react easy as that.
Evil greed
And they charge people $16k… class action lawsuits in the pipeline….
These clowns are to blame just as much as ercot , as they allowed deregulation
Magnets got 883,000 in 2018 for Ercot. Wee bit overpaid, wouldn’t you say.
Wow
The guy looks like Judge Doom in Who Framed River Rabbit. Texas must be Toontown!
Wow…..smh
What a shitbag.
Jesus Christ saves from sin.
Romans 3: 23
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Hebrews 9: 27
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
Isaiah 64: 6
But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
Revelation 21: 8
But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
Romans 5: 8
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
John 3: 16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 14: 6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Romans 10: 9-10.
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Jesus said John 5: 24
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
1John 5: 10-13
He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.
And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
Ephesians 2: 8-9
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Romans 8: 1
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
1 Corinthians 15: 3-4
For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
2 Corinthians 5: 21
For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

Side-step university grad huh…
You can tell they give 2 Fucs about anyone other than their self! Bc No one is wearing a mask!! Is Covid gone? Or did they all get tested B4 this hearing??? Oh 1 person smh..
"Not enough gas…", not enough power, why charge $10K-$20K energy billâ‰︠It's ridiculous and ripping TX offâÂÂâ€â€
These guys were to busy stuffing there pockets for years and not giving 2 F***s about the grid and protecting us Texans.
Thats y all these duds dun and quit to put the blame on the CEO while they get away with murder and money in there pockets.
When the leaders of the company dont know anything about the actual infrastructure or what the actual tech is and only hold that top seat because they are the"money men", this is what happens. People die.
