Why didnt @ERCOT_ISO have reserves of natural gas or propane???
It does not FREEZE when processed or when refined into propane. It can only freeze when unprocessed coming from extraction sites. Why didnt they have tanks FULL knowing the storm was coming?

3. "Dan Woodfin, an executive... Ercot, said in an interview that a lack of gas supply is one of the reasons why it’s having trouble getting power plants back online" https://www.bloombergquint.com/business/texas-bans-natural-gas-companies-from-taking-fuel-out-of-state
4. So WHY this from GREG ABBOTT early this week?
"Abbott asked the Freeport LNG export terminal earlier in the week to dial back its operations. Freeport said it was shutting down two LNG production units in response."

5. Because maybe it would look bad if the people learned how much natural gas exports increased in November.

8. Texas gas, wind, and oil... all in Chinese hands.
Could this be why no reserves on hand? Was it intentional? https://www.forbes.com/sites/daneberhart/2020/09/20/china-increases-imports-of-us-oil-ahead-of-november-election/?sh=3624942448cc
