The National Transportation Safety Board has released its preliminary findings on the 135-car pileup on Interstate 35W that left six people dead and dozens injured.

A measure that has passed the Texas Senate and is now in the House is the strongest piece of legislation after Texas’ deadly winter storm that left four million people without power, killed 111 people and caused an estimated $80-100 million worth of damage.

Experts say ERCOT should be able to handle generators going offline for maintenance on a mild spring day. And the fact that the state inched so close to needing to have blackouts Tuesday is a sign of the bad shape the grid is in.

As North Texans enjoyed a typical spring afternoon, the operator of the Texas' power grid unexpectedly called for energy conservation.

The White House recently rolled out its infrastructure plan, and billions of dollars would go to improving the nations power grids, but Texas' grid is independent from the rest of the country.

A bipartisan bill introduced by two Texans in Congress hopes to invest nearly $500 million to help states shore up electric grids for extreme weather.

A preliminary report from ERCOT on the February power crisis basically states the obvious and leaves important questions unanswered. It did not give any answers about what could or should be done differently, as has been debated in legislative hearings.

After the legislators failed to fix the system following the 2011 winter storm, some are skeptical as to whether politicians will get it right this time.
