DALLAS — After a summer of higher home energy bills that followed last year’s deadly winter power outages, most Texans favor investments to make the state’s electricity grid more reliable, says a recent report from a polling company.
The survey, conducted by progressive research group Data for Progress in early September, found that immigration and grid reliability are among the most pressing issues for Texas voters among other social and economic topics.
Still reeling from the effects of Winter Storm Uri, a majority of voters polled across the political spectrum said state leaders did not adequately protect them from higher prices from the storm, the survey report said.
