Pelosi: Effects of storm in Texas 'heartbreaking'

Speaker of House Nancy Pelosi says a House panel will look into Texas' response to problems that have been caused by extreme wear in Texas.

Pelosi said Thursday that issues with Texas infrastructure were in many ways "predictable in a long range of wearizing infrastructure of energy in state."

She also said an earlier alert could have been given to state's residents.

Power outs in Texas have dropped to below a half million, but state is still facing major problems with drinking water systems.

state’s power grid manr, Electric Reliability of Council of Texas, says remaining outs are largely wear-related and t ones that were forced to stabilize state’s power grid.

Texas officials have ordered 7 million people to boil tap water before drinking it following days of record low temperatures that damd infrastructure and froze pipes.

That’s one-quarter of population of nation’s second-largest state.
