Isn't that a bit like a fire marshal investigating a fire that he started himself?

Exactly. If Abbot really wanted to investigate this all, he would setup an independent investigation. Instead, he is investigating himself, with the help of his cronies.

ERCOT exists because energy company investors and execs did not want regulation. There is a lesson to be learned, but rightys will not learn it.

ERCOT is regulation you moron. When they tell you to take your power plant off line or put it on line you have to comply. Not all regulation is or should be Federal. Remember the blackout in California because of the poorly maintained power lines? California is Federally regulated.
