O'Rourke talks power grid in Odessa

[TexasTowelie]

Texas gubernatorial candidate Beto O’Rourke (D-El Paso) on a Friday stop in Odessa spoke to about 75 people during the second stop of his “Keeping the Lights On” statewide tour.

For more than 20 minutes, O’Rourke spoke about his plan for the power grid in Texas.

The presentation took place at the Woodson Community Center as O’Rourke laid out a five point plan about infrastructure that included winterizing the grid, connecting Texas to the national grid, helping the rate payer out, stop price gouging and have an independent market monitor for gas.

“If we are going to fix it, we have to take it seriously,” O’Rourke said during the meeting.

This is the third time in the last nine weeks that O’Rourke has visited the Odessa-Midland area as he runs for governor.
