Southern California Edison briefed the council on outage types, PSPS procedures, the outage map and community support resources; SCE said 3 of Carpinteria's five feeder circuits are PSPS-designated and described covered-conductor upgrades, vegetation inspections and costs/timelines for undergrounding.

Industry witnesses told the Florida House Economic Infrastructure Subcommittee that natural gas currently supplies most of the state's electricity, that pipeline and storage capacity provide resilience during storms, and that renewable natural gas and transportation use are growing; members pressed witnesses on security, leak detection and FERC permitting timelines.

Witnesses from Florida Power & Light, Sunrun and distribution companies told the subcommittee that utility-scale solar plus battery storage is increasingly cost-effective, can be deployed quickly, and that residential batteries provide backup during storms and grid services; members questioned supply chains, battery costs and rare-earth sourcing.

Texas is charting a new course in its approach to energy resilience, one that prioritizes practical solutions over ideological debates. By embracing an "all-of-the-above" strategy that incorporates natural gas, wind, and solar resources, as well as streamlined regulations and market competition, the state has achieved affordable and reliable power, with residential and business electricity rates currently 24% below the national average. This approach, which focuses on economic viability and delivers results-driven decision-making, offers a promising alternative to the polarized national energy discourse, and its potential lessons for the rest of the nation are worth exploring.
