Power in Houston

I still don't have electricity. Water and food are ok so am ok. But families with small children are having a rough time and I think the solution is providing small generators to them, those with infants and very small children.

All major news outlets say that by this Thursday almost all of Houston will have electricity. I sure hope so. Rick Casey, who used to write for the National Catholic Reporter, writes a column for the Houston Chronicle where he identifies the energy companies as responsible for the power outage being so massive. He writes that after Rita, three years ago, lawmakers and citizens pushed for a revamping of our power grid, but the lobbyists of the power companies squelched the move. Now we have this.
