    They could have hardened the grid and made upgrades... but Centerpoint C level guys went for stock buybacks, bonuses and dividends instead.

      You're right. As soon as Abbott and Patrick rolled up they're top priority was to deregulate the power grid and companies. So now you have Cntp and Entergy supplying and a million different companies billing customers where as the service area has tripled. Ex-lineman here. So for a small kick back you'll see Beryl Energy coming soon 🤔😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

    I Have never seen a more disorganized effort to restore power. I went over from Louisiana to help, there was hardly no damage that I seen in the Pasadena area, yet there are still people without power after 4 days. I did not see 1 snapped pole the entire time I was there. This is what you get when you have an organized Union, high wages and little effort. This is why Detroit is a ghost town now.

    I predicted this hurricane on 06/29/2024 would hit Houston on 07/07/2024 which it did. There was time for them to prepare but you have an old, outdated grid. No tree trimming, nothing. Let this be a lesson and make them upgrade your infrastructure like we have here in Florida. You shouldn't go without power for more than 24 hours...God Bless...

    The restoration map is just a way of Centerpoint trying to document their progress when we in Imperial Oaks are still without power. Their new map this morning shows they are done with us. Do you know how frustrating that is? Does this mean they actually believe this? Have they stopped the plan of sending crews out here? There is still a tree on a downed power line 2 blocks from my house . I'd like to visit Centerpoint with torches and ropes like the good ole days. Someone please help us. Don't let them get away with this. Stop the Good ole boys network to the Governor that's gonna push this under the rug.
