Correction, Aug. 30, 2022 2:25 pm: A previous version of this story incorrectly stated the fines that some natural gas companies face if they violate new state rules on preparing their facilities for extreme weather events. The maximum fine is $1 million, not $5,000. The story also incorrectly stated what percentage of power outages during the winter storm were due to problems related to natural gas. Natural gas issues comprised 87% of unplanned outages related to fuel issues, not 87% of all unplanned outages.
Texas gas companies face fines up to $1 million for failing to prepare for extreme weather

Correction, Aug. 19, 2022 10:41 am: A previous version of this story incorrectly stated that the estimated 35 deaths per year that a researcher attributed to unpermitted chemical releases cost the state more than $300 million per year.
