4. If there are any interconnects to non-ERCOT grids, they should be shut off.

That way if ERCOT has major problems, it is isolated and does not cause problems for the rest of us.

5. I live in Texas.

My electricity costs are no higher than last year. I haven't noticed any major differences anyway. Could Ted Cruz be a lying POS? Yes. I believe he is

6. I'm sure there are some physical interconnections. They apparently aren't utilized so TX

Can avoid federal Regulations. The way they are playing the game pretty much guarantees the day will come when they have system wide failure. The regulations are burdensome but provide assurance of reliability.
