They should all sue Biden's administration, but with Abbott and ERCOT staying silent I can say that the end results will in taking away Texas energy independence!
You should lookup what ERCOT actually does before lashing out. They don't provide or produce energy and have literally no power on deciding who's energy stays on or off.
Blame your personal power company for not being prepared. If you don't agree with what I said then I challenge you to prove me wrong.

First part is correct, second part not really. While ercot doesn’t produce or move electricity, they do issue directives to the Transmission Operators (Oncor, Centerpoint, Brazos, AEP etc in TX) to shed their share of X amount of megawatts in order to preserve the integrity of the grid overall. In this case we’re talking about 20,000MW. Absolutely unprecedented. If the generators become overloaded they trip out on low frequency and it all cascades. So shedding load helps maintain frequency and/or alleviate overloaded elements.
The power companies do have somewhat of a say in that they have predetermined feeders they rotate in and out in order to not leave customers off for too long, think of it as a shared burden. Only hospitals, military, and EMS facilities aren’t effected by this. Everyone else is fair game, and was fair game, during these rotational outages.
TLDR: if people want someone to blame, blame the Obama Admin’s war on coal and shuttering power plants without a viable alternative.
Ercot does tell them to shed load but not where. That's up to the energy companies.
All the blame seems to be put on Ercot which doesn't make sense. Should they get a little blame? Yes.
But making them out to be enemy number 1 is not correct. At the end of the day Ercot follows orders and it doesn't matter if people there don't agree with it.
Lots of places to point fingers. All deserving imho
Biden Refused Abbott’s Request That He Sign Major Disaster Declarations For 177 Texas Counties After Refusing To Allow Texas Power Plants To Operate At 100% Capacity Resulting In Massive Power Outages

Yes. Paging Lin Wood
Wood is having his hands full with GA Bar right now.

Also if Ercot wouldn't of issued any load shedding the entire grid would of collapsed.
It sure is a mess out there. Giddy “price sharing” used to funnel hedge fund mistakes? Reports of $9 a kwh.
