In Texas, it's mainly the failure of thermal power plants — natural gas, coal, and nuclear plants

Texas is the coalmine canary of failures in the GQP’s industrial policy. The “clusterfuzzle” appears to be only in Texas: perhaps they skimmed on costs and failed in winterizing their plants. The structural failure comes from the anti-federal, deregulatory policy of the Texas grid which reveals itself in the disinformation...

Krugman: stagflation as ambitious macroeconomic policies and conservative ideas was wrong?

Let real wages (of $15+/hour) grow faster than labor productivity for some years, undoing the wage repression of the last decades.
