This week on EJR, I will be discussing the Mackinac Center in all of its glorious hypocrisy. As you recall, the Mackinac Center is an alleged non-profit think tank funded by multiple conservative billionaires, with the lion's share coming from the DeVos family.

This show exists to report environmental injustice and demand substantive reform. Recently, it has come to my attention that the problem is far more vast than previously considered.

The recent Texas power blackouts did not happen in a vacuum. They were engineered to happen for one specific cause--to increase demand and skyrocket profits. The energy industry serving Texas has been deregulated for many years now, and is not part of any federal grid.
