Meet Josh Hanawalt, a Lineman Educator who has dedicated 16 years of his life to the Texas Power Grid. Texas is it’s own, deregulated power grid that is operating under the influence of government and consumerism. Learn about the many forms of disconnection that occurred during the 2021 Texas Winter Storm that left millions without resources and discover what kind of trauma responses may have occurred in its wake.

Approach: (20 min.) How the power grid works.

Road back: (45 min.) Preparedness lists / communication / learning / taking action

Take-Away’s: The difference between blame and problem identification / First world problems with power

Quotes: “Power is a luxury and a finite resource” / “Ted Cruz….Joe Biden…..You need skilled workers” “Renewable energy is only as good as the source”
