Winter Storms Uri and Viola hit Texas recently. People died, pipes broke, houses and businesses were ruined from water damage, many people face astronomical utility bills, and Jerry Jones, Dallas Cowboys owner and others invested in Comstock Resources, Inc., struck it rich. They hit the jackpot, and were quoted as saying so. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-02-17/dallas-cowboys-owner-s-gas-driller-hits-jackpot-on-price-surge Makes you think some people recognized the economic advantage to them of having natural gas and electricity in short supply, and so manipulated the system so that would occur. And if they’re not prevented from doing so, I have no doubt this will happen again.
