From CNN's Natasha Chen, Kevin Conlon and Daniella DiazDemocratic Texas Reps. Sylvia Garcia and Sheila Jackson Lee, as well as New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, spoke at a news conference outside the Houston Food Bank where they said they plan to help Texans affected by the winter storm.

"You know, when disaster strikes, this is not just an issue for Texans, this is an issue for our entire country," Ocasio-Cortez said."As was mentioned earlier, disasters don't strike everyone equally when you already have so many families in the state and across the country that are on the brink, that can't even afford an emergency to begin with."

" hurts the vulnerable populations even more," Garcia, who spoke first, said during the press conference."My district was totally in the dark. And I know people are still hurting today ... we've got repairs to make." She added:"There will need to be reforms with ERCOT and I urge the legislature to do that. And then should include looking at whether or not to join the federal grid. I think everything should be on the table, Texas did not want to go through this again. They want accountability."

State of Texas should pay for enormous energy bills after power outages, Houston mayor saysAs power resumes for most of Texas, some households now face utility bills as high as $10,000. Wrong.

Why the Texas power catastrophe could happen in your state, tooAlthough the outages were most severe in Texas, some 400,000 customers in Louisiana and Oklahoma were without power as a result of the storm, even though those states are tied to the national grid. That’s what happens when major storms hit hurricane, tornados, and snow/ice. We deal with every year and every year we could lose power for days on end. Where is your Como coverage on his nursing home deaths Unless 25% of your energy consumption is dependent on Wind turbines, you should be ok. Green energy sources are guaranteed to fail. But CNN has a Communist agenda to sell, so don’t expect the truth.
