Agree 100%. I’m not ragging on the judge, it should have been in place, it’s the lack of planning around the power grid. Maybe my comment was flippant, but you’re not wrong.

Wait until the next judge orders to have the prisons run the air conditioning at resonable temperatures by 2039…

Sadly I don’t see the incentive for a for-profit torture trap to spend potential profit on energy bills to avoid torturing people.

If this is enough to become a power grid problem, Texas needs to ask itself, “Why do we have so many people in prison?”

Should be fine, most outages are during the winter.
Prices are a different thing though

Coupled with solar, in Texas when there is a need for airco…. Should be ok :)
