"Markets are more than just the sum of individual actions. They are interconnected systems, and it is systems thinking that we humans often fail to internalize and act upon. This is a generic problem in the energy sector, also apparent in foresight studies that lay out energy scenarios.... Anticipation is just the first step to preparedness, but without focusing more on high-impact low-frequency 'wildcard' events, we will likely be asking similar questions in the aftermath of the next disaster."

"The core message of the Texas energy crisis—with the additional knowledge from the earlier Enron crisis in California and California’s rolling blackouts last year—is that no generation technology—not nuclear, not coal, not hydro, not gas, not wind, not solar—nor any combination of those ways of making electrons, manages itself. And no market or regulatory design will do the job for us. Active, thoughtful, and forward looking leadership is required."
- Carl Pope, Former Executive Director, Sierra Club

"Energy supply is too important to the welfare of our citizens and the health of our economy to leave to individual states. I would prefer to see federal oversight of regional grids. I would also prefer the federal oversight include a formula for energy source diversity for each region to achieve." - Thomas Adams, Executive Director, American Coal Ash Association
