John,
The governor of the state that is the 9th largest economy on earth — the
energy capital of the world — can’t guarantee the power will stay on this
week.

As Texans deal with a heat wave, our state’s power grid operator is once
again calling on people to reduce their electricity use — and turn their
AC down — because it’s the only way to avoid another grid collapse on
Abbott’s watch.
A dangerously unreliable power grid has become a feature of daily life
under Abbott. When it’s cold and when it’s hot, families are left crossing
their fingers and hoping the grid holds up. After all, we know what
happened last time it failed: millions were left without power and
hundreds of our fellow Texans died.
John, last
year’s deadly grid failure wasn’t an act of God, nor the incredible force
of Mother Nature. It wasn’t a failure of turbines or technicians.
It was wholly the fault of the governor, the man who had been repeatedly
warned of vulnerabilities in the grid and who did nothing. The man who,
instead of being with Texans in their moment of need, was on Fox News
blaming the Green New Deal.
Worst of all, in the aftermath of the failure, when Abbott could have
finally fixed the grid and protected us during the next extreme weather
event, he sided with his major political donors who profited from the
energy blackouts — and did nothing meaningful to prevent another grid
failure.
It comes down to this, John.
The grid will keep failing us until we fix it. And Abbott will keep
failing us until we defeat him

Our campaign is putting in the work every day to defeat Abbott in
November. Beto is about to launch a 5,600+ mile statewide Drive for Texas
to meet folks in over 75 communities and hold Abbott accountable for his
failures. But everything we plan to do — travel, hosting events, knocking
doors, and hiring staff — is 100% funded by supporters like you.
[ [link removed] ]If you can, donate now to help us fire Greg Abbott. Every dollar
counts.
Let’s unite around a brighter future for Texas where we finally fix the
grid, bring utility costs down, and keep the lights on so a deadly grid
crisis never happens again.
In solidarity,
Beto for Texas
