WORLDRETHINK: Twitter tour on February 17, 2021 - Texas government washes hands about the outage

#WR: Who will take the blame for the Texas outage? @WSJ wrote '"The people who have fallen short with regard to the power are the private power generation companies,” Texas Gov. Greg. Abbott explained.' He is washing hands, but always companies have to be audited by the government.

And The Wall Street Journal added: "Mr. Abbott blamed his state’s extensive power outages on generators freezing early Monday morning, noting “this includes the natural gas & coal generators.” But frigid temperatures and icy conditions have descended on most of the country. Why couldn’t Texas handle them while other states did?"

Here again we see the authorities sleep over the contracts with private providers instead of assuming their responsibility to audit  the services to the community through technical periodical evaluations of the resources and the work of the providers. 

SOURCES: The Wall Street Journal, my own experience in the audit of systems and the work with machines. ( I worked a long time in the IT audit as an analyst.)
