...fines/bankruptcy for not properly deicing the toll
road that resulted in so many deaths and mangled
vehicles?
It seems to me that if they can make money off the
vehicles traveling their toll road, then they need to
shell it out when, because they didn't properly
maintain it, a disaster like that happens. Why would
they be sheltered from lawsuits when they, unlike
government operated roads, are run for profit?
If I were auto/semi insurance companies, I'd be looking
at the toll road owners first before one penny of their
money is spent.

The resignations were disclosed the same day ERCOT was hit with a
proposed class action lawsuit in a Texas court by customers who claim
they lost power and drinkable water because of its failure to ensure the
grid could function properly despite the bad weather.
There have been dozens of deaths linked to the severe cold and the state
has launched investigations into what caused power generators, electrical
transmission systems to shut.
At the peak, more than 4.3 million people in the state were without power.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott welcomed the resignations, noting ERCOT
has assured it had adequate power ahead of the storm.
The Republican governor has put much of the blame for the outages on
ERCOT and called for investigations.
'The lack of preparedness and transparency at ERCOT is unacceptable,
and I welcome these resignations,' Abbott said in a statement.
'The State of Texas will continue to investigate ERCOT and uncover the
full picture of what went wrong, and we will ensure that the disastrous
events of last week are never repeated,' the governor added.

...before the customers have to shell out any money for
their damages and for money over and above their
normally expected power bill.
