In fairness, I don't think you guys got hit by the hurricane quite as hard as we did.

I'm looking at it from ercot not having enough energy for demand like the last few years. Obviously, a hurricane will take down service.

In the case of the '18 February snap-freeze, the problem was gas plant lines freezing over so they couldn't run their generators as demand peaked.

Ironically, that sky-high crisis pricing causes green energy investment to surge, as wind and solar got to ride the $3000 Mwh rates during the peak of summer while gas companies had to spend a small fortune retrofitting all their lines.
