San Antonio state senator calls on CEO of Texas power grid to resign
In a tweet, State Sen. José Menéndez, D-San Antonio, called for the firing or resignation of the CEO and board for the organization that oversees Texas electrical grid.
His demand comes as at least 2 million Texas households are without power because the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) was unable to meet demand during the ice storm now paralyzing the state.
Utilities such as San Antonios CPS Energy have been forced to institute rolling blackouts to help stabilize the grid. Some residents have been without power since early Monday.
