WHEREAS, In February 2021, citizens across the Lone Star |
|
|
State were impacted by Winter Storm Uri, and the electrical utility |
|
|
line and generation workers of Texas are to be commended for their |
|
|
heroic efforts in response to this unprecedented emergency; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, When the winter storm struck on the weekend of |
|
|
February 13 and 14, arctic blasts dropped temperatures to single |
|
|
digits across the state, and by late Sunday night, problems with the |
|
|
state's power grid had left millions of Texans without electrical |
|
|
power; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Electrical utility line and generation workers |
|
|
throughout Texas responded by working tirelessly around the clock |
|
|
in extremely adverse conditions to restore power to the state's |
|
|
communities; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Thanks to the courage, hard work, and fortitude of |
|
|
these line and generation workers, power was restored, and they |
|
|
indeed deserve special recognition for the vital role they played |
|
|
in helping Texans to recover from this devastating event; now, |
|
|
therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the electrical utility line and |
|
|
generation workers of Texas and extend to them sincere gratitude |
|
|
for their perseverance and success in restoring electrical power to |
|
|
the people of Texas. |
