The Texas blackouts that knocked power out for millions threw state and federal officials into crisis management mode – and now they’re looking for culprits. The blackouts left a death toll of nearly 60 people, and showed that the state was largely unprepared for extreme weather. And that is a lesson that multiple states are beginning to learn the hard way. POLITICO’s Renu Rayasam, on how the storm played out differently in some parts of Texas, and Eric Wolff, on how governments are preparing their critical power systems for worsening natural disasters.
