Et tu Butane?
They certainly left out the part where the other grids were having major problems in the snowpocalypse. You can’t engineer to consider all edge cases, it is prohibitively expensive.
I think you’re missing the point. When a part of the grid goes down in another state, it doesn’t take the whole system with it, because it’s connected to a larger grid. Not so in most of Texas.
West Texas is connected to a larger grid, unlike the rest of the state. It didn’t have any problems with snowpocalypse and electricity.

Seems a little late. I think it was pretty clear this year that the problem’s already been fixed.
The problem of ice buildup cutting off electrical supply being “solved” by global warming preventing ice buildup…
Haha global warming is what causes the ice my dude. It was colder this year than the year where we lost power.
I suddenly understand why the science communication community prefers the term “climate change.”
