Shutting off the power is what they did - they turned off millions of homes and people died.

Unsurprisingly, the disaster wasn't the fault of a state senator's trip to Mexico, but the sheer incompetence of the Biden administration: Oof. It's their own fault for not voting for God Emperor Biden. They should focus on raking up all the snow and ice in the state and voting smarter next time. In the meantime I hear God Emperor Biden is graciously tossing a few rolls of paper towels their way.

You mean the best thread for passing along information that does not matter? Even if the plants were allowed to run at 2000% capacity, they were still not weather proof and they still would not have worked. All this is, is misinformation for chumps like you to eat up.

Note to self: When I move to Texas, I need to build my own power plant in the backyard because I can't count on the power companies to supply electricity. Or, just leave the dog with a security guard and flee to Cancun. C'mon Ted. It's not your fault your constituents didn't save ahead for these rate increases.

A light being turned on or a television on isn't going to result in that massive bill. Stop arguing something that is not logical in any developed nation.

So you would prefer they don’t have any power at all? Either way their pipes burst

As opposed to being forced to pay thousands of dollars in electric bills, if those are somehow the only two options, then yes. However, in the year 2021, there must be other feasible options.
