Grid expert explains how the power outages happened in Texas

Dr. Gerald Turner explains the different factors that have a factor in ongoing power outages across Texas.

[RayOid]

He was trying to speak the truth, and the higher ups cut the cord, what a cover up.

[Ras]

I'm sorry but we have to do a commercial break...Are you kidding ? The guy is explaining the problem and you guys have to go to a break

[michaelanderson]

they should put the billing dept in charge of maintenance and infrastructure, because the bill is never late or missing. The whole thing is obviously just the result of poor management, and a lack of accountability.

[yhird]

Wow! You folks invited the expert to speak and then rudely cut him off for a commercial break?!?! Unprofessional.

[danvrekalic]

Looks and sounds a lot like she was told to 'cut him off' by Just saying the title states 'Grid expert explains how power outages happened in Texas'. They appeared to cut him off pretty sharply saying they were out of time? Lol, why bother with the story at all then if you just cut the expert off when he starts telling people what actually happened and who is responsible. Nice coverage WFAA, really, you should be proud of this one, not.

Proper preparation would have decreased profits and dividends

Ok what I learned was there was a power freeze in 2011 during the super bowl, thanks for the info guys 👌🏾

[denbron]

He said they didn't upgrade enough of the grid like they were supposed to.
And this is rare, so be understanding

[browsedeweb]

Wow, the details provided were amazingly clear and helpful from an engineering perspective. /sarc

[Chulito_con_frito]

Wow she wasn't paying attention then completely cut him off after he was trying to explain what happened which they invited him on to do! 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

[vthreee]

Uhhh ok? Lol sounds like someone was distracted, and now an audience is confused. Thanks for the upload!

[matthewm]

Unprofessional news. Not ready to talk then you have to cut him off

[screamingeagle]

Let us hear the ekspert explain what no the expert is blaming out partners and clients...let's go to an urgent comercial break.

[txdbstx]

UNBELIEVABLE!!! This is fake news at its finest folks! She was listening to producers and was distracted. That's the reason for her brief pause/silence. She then cuts him off as he begins to explain the reason for the grid failures because a commercial is far more important at that very moment when he begins to explain.

The guy starts telling the truth and then they go to a commercial break. Trust the media and what they tell you

[Ar-yecr]

Power companies should make their 10 yr deadline calendar for facing severe winter cold like this. Then only they can make it top priority for upgrading electricity grid for this type of winter

[mitchellcamp]

You know the windmills in Norway were the windmills in Colorado work sounds like to me like Texas's. Just don't work

[CrazyFunnyCats]

Trillions spent over the last year in USA 🇺🇸 on the demic..but they can’t fortify power grids!
No excuses.
Wait for a huge CME in the next 22 years. Grid down. All they need is a few trillion in capacitors on power grids .

[davidtritinger]

That is awesome. Virtually no information about the actual reason the power grid went down.
