I'm torn here. He was a a dick, no doubt. Was that hill to die on? No. If he also thinks people should learn to take care of themselves, as in get a job and pay for services on their own, then yes. He would be right. That hill was bad form when there are so many out of power, not just those on gibs.
He did say create power and so forth which was absurd. Seems he was trying to go for being self reliant and chose this issue and what an issue to choose. He failed gloriously. Sadly that does not help get utilities restored.
Yeah. From my limited understanding of the power grid, the first utility company to build the extensive infrastructure, like power lines and those utility substations, gain a monopoly just because they were the ones to set up the infrastructure. And a lot of times they were subsidized to help build that infrastructure. So its just not financially viable for any competitors. And thats just electric. Not even taking into account 'renewable energy'. It just seems like a giant clusterfuck to me
Apparently some company build their first power station in Texas since 1979 a few months back. The governments were intentionally kneecapping grid expansion.

You want people to pay there way ... end welfare programs.
