00:00Do you anticipate that there could be additional changes? I mean, we talk about that previous storm.
00:05That you had. So much has changed. You talk about, obviously, the explosion in data centers, the build.
00:10Out of oil and gas infrastructure down there and just a lot more companies moving.
00:15To the state of Texas, I am curious about some of the longer term preparations to make sure that the grid can now.
00:20I can only withstand these extremes like we saw this weekend, but more importantly, just the ebbs and flows.
00:25Going forward.
00:26Remain, the Texas legislature meets every other year.
00:30It was a major part of the legislative session that does not meet this year.
00:34It will.
00:35Last year, talk a lot about data centers and all of the new.
00:40Changes that come along with them.
00:41I do anticipate this to continue in Texas.
00:45These problems are not going away.
00:47We have these freezing storms every couple of years.
00:50More people are moving here.
00:51There's a bigger demand on the electric grid.
00:53So, yes, I expect in the legislative session.
00:55This to continue to be discussed.
00:57All right, Julie Fine, our bureau chief down.
01:00They're in the state of Texas, keeping a close eye here on those freezing conditions in a state.
01:05Of course, not used to those freezing conditions and how the infrastructure holds up.
