Looked up their Board of Directors, and the Chair is Sally Talberg who lives in .... Michigan. Why is a lady from Michigan heading the power grid of Texas!?!
Apparently she was elected as Chair for ERCOT on February 9th and has been acting as an Unaffiliated Director since January 1st. Her previous position was Chairman of the Michigan Public Service Commission. She served on the Commission since 2013.
"Prior to the MPSC, Talberg worked as a senior consultant at Public Sector Consultants, most notably co-leading the development of Michigan Saves, a nonprofit green bank that has financed over $200 million in energy efficiency projects. She also helped staff the state's wind zone board and offshore wind council."
I'm also seeing Keith Emery on the Board of Directors for ERCOT who is Vice President of Origination for Tenaska Power Services. I remember there was a huge battle when they wanted to build a plant outside my hometown around 10 years ago. The biggest argument was that to build the plant, it would destroy a bunch of ranch and farmland, and I think people were worried that the water would be contaminated. Tenaska pushed for years, but finally gave up and moved elsewhere.
So is this another example of a omnipotent private company with unelected bureaucrats crippling our infrastructure through waste and ignorance?

And she may have been involved in the Flint water crisis. Keep digging!
