In this episode I interview my old friend Chrysta Casteneda, a well-known oil-and-gas litigator in Texas who ran for a position on Texas's powerful Railroad Commission in 2020. She describes why the "lights went out" in Texas in February 2021 as several things went wrong at once, and examines whether we have done enough to protect ourselves against another epic failure of our electrical grid as the state continues to grow.
