What is the alternative to a failed, for-profit, mostly private power grid that leaves millions to freeze? #TexasBlackout
1. A federally owned supergrid that allows energy to be imported from regions of the country that have an excess of solar, wind, and other energy at that time....
2. Publicly owned, democratically controlled utilities that are directly accountable to the people they serve and invest in grid maintenance and high staffing levels.

3. An end to utility shutoffs for non-payment and programs to prioritize power restoration to the vulnerable.
4. An end to environmental racism and racist power cutoffs that are designed to preserve power in wealthier, whiter areas.

5. 100% clean, renewable, affordable energy (solar, wind, and wave) for all which is publicly owned and built with good union jobs
6. Improved grid resilience through investments in maintenance, upgrades, microgrids and Distributed Energy Resources, battery storage, tree trimming, grid redundancy equipment like relay protection systems, etc.
