February winter storm over charges turns into Texas political storm

 

The $16 billion in charges to the Texas electricity market during the February winter storm has created a political storm of its own in the Texas legislature. Like the storm that claimed more than 50 lives, it too promises to be an historic one as leaders debate—no, argue—over whether the charges should be reversed.
It has Gov. Greg Abbott at odds with his Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick. The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported the fight is likely to be settled in the courts.
