The Texas electric grid failure was a warm-up
I hear a lot about how Texas is going to descend into Mad Max style powerlessness, but the data is not nearly as grim as the media seems to imply: <a href="https://www.mroelectric.com/blog/most-least-power-outages/" rel="nofollow">https://www.mroelectric.com/blog/most-least-power-outages/</a><p>Between 2015 and 2019, Texas didn't even make it into the top 10 list of power outages; and they're in #10 spot for outage hours per outage. In a state with extreme temperatures and large, unpopulated areas, this strikes me as extremely good.<p>I have no doubt that their power grid isn't perfect. No power grid is perfect. I just like basing my opinions on the facts and, currently, Texas isn't doing badly.
