The commercial power grid in these affected areas of Texas should be paying for every_penny of these damages including wrongful death lawsuits. They are the ones who chose to leave their customers literally in the cold after being formally given the recommendations by the Feds that would have fixed these issues 10 years ago.
I agree that the power operators ought to be held accountable, but this is the gaping flaw in our legal system... They'll testify it was NOT AGAINST THE LAW and that will be true. Nevermind that the law oftentimes assumes a "good faith" execution of responsibilities, when all too often that is impossible to prove. It seems that while ignorance of the law is no excuse, bad faith insistence that the harmful (in)action was not against the law seems to be a good enough to excuse accountability.
I don't know how we fix this.
