Some things you literally have to wait out because the fix would take longer than the problem to go away. The grid doesn't have the energy it needs to accommodate everyone's power being restored and everyone turning their furnaces on. Energy is finite. You can't just run some generators in series and call it good. It'll take months/years to ramp more generation plants. permalink save report block reply ▲ 11 ▼ – maga_gal 11 points 56 days ago +11 / -0 He would have at least came down here and provided supplies himself.

They were denied the ability to ramp up production, as that must pass federal regulators. Who is in charge of that?
