AUSTIN — Beto O’Rourke and Mike Collier want to talk about Texas’ power grid.
Since the Democrats launched their campaigns for governor and lieutenant governor last year, the grid has been a chief reason they say voters should choose them over incumbent Gov. Greg Abbott and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick.
Abbott has said that grid-related legislation last year provided the reforms the Texas grid needed, including plans to weatherize power plants and natural gas wells, bail out power companies and redesign the energy market. Abbott also promised Texans that the “lights would stay on.”
