It's been more than 600 days since the lights went out for millions of Texans during Winter Storm Uri.
The near-total collapse of the Texas grid can be attributed to a number of culprits— and there has been no shortage of finger-pointing.

To better understand what's happening, and what's to come, Episode 24 of the Factor This! podcast features Texas Capitol mainstays Caitlin Smith of Jupiter Power, Mark Stover of Apex Clean Energy, and Doug Lewin, host of Renewable Energy World's Texas Power Podcast.
