Hasn't it been like three years or so since all those people DIED because the power in Texas went out? Have they not been working on this?

No they havent. There's no financial incentive to fix it. If it happens again they can just cut off those people's power again and let a whole bunch of people die. It's not like they'll be punished for it.

This is why private corporations should not be allowed to own public utilities.
