Good reporting on this revelatory fiasco from the Texas Tribune.
The Texas legislature has passed on multiple opportunities to regulate the energy retailers. It's criminal that a consumer could be on a plan with so much risk and no explicit warning. Literally, it is criminal most places.
As for winterization of energy infrastructure, which Abbott said the state will do, it may be too expensive at this point to retrofit and cheaper to rebuild from scratch.
