After Hurricane Beryl and the havoc it's wreaked on Houston, KHOU's Jeremy Rogalski joins the podcast to ask why the energy state can't deliver reliable electricity.
In the wake of Hurricane Beryl and the havoc it's wreaked on Houston, KHOU investigative reporter Jeremy Rogalski joins Y'all-itics to talk CenterPoint's failures.“People are hurting, there’s no doubt,” Rogalski said. “You drive around and it’s just very apparent. I think more than half the traffic signals down here in Houston are either completely out or flashing red.
And the second question Rogalski asks is if CenterPoint has been playing catch up since the storm passed. "Everybody said, 'Where are the trucks? I haven’t seen a truck. Where are the trucks?'" Rogalski said."And the answer was there were no outside trucks Monday. And so, CenterPoint only had their local crews -- about 1,500 -- and they were waiting for the cavalry to come in. And so, by CenterPoint’s own admission, they were a half a day late out of the gate."
And they found that more than five hours had passed before any measurable work was done, such as removing downed tree branches from power lines.
