Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) “promised that the state’s electric grid would be able to withstand pressures caused by any potential winter storm that occurs this year,” the Houston Chronicle reports.
Said Abbott: “Listen, very confident about the grid. And I can tell you why, for one: I signed almost a dozen laws that make the power grid more effective. I can guarantee the lights will stay on.”
