        Agree 100%. I’m not ragging on the judge, it should have been in place, it’s the lack of planning around the power grid. Maybe my comment was flippant, but you’re not wrong.

        Wait until the next judge orders to have the prisons run the air conditioning at resonable temperatures by 2039…
        I dearly hope my cynic comment ages like milk.

          Sadly I don’t see the incentive for a for-profit torture trap to spend potential profit on energy bills to avoid torturing people.

            They will if they stand to miss out on money if they fail to do it. That basic level of incentives is all that works at this point

      If this is enough to become a power grid problem, Texas needs to ask itself, “Why do we have so many people in prison?”

      Should be fine, most outages are during the winter.

      Prices are a different thing though
