The gaslight media is gonna gaslight. Windpower failed, putting so much extra strain on natgas generation that some of it also failed, which almost then cascaded into total disaster.

I also understand that Texas has a closed grid system, it isn’t tied to any other grids outside the state.

If they had been able to import electricity from other parts of the country, this would have been just a cold day instead of a disaster.

I also understand that Texas does not incentivize utilities to have a certain amount of idle capacity and ready to go online when times like this hit. In other words they live paycheck to paycheck, with nothing set aside for a rainy (or in this case freezing) day. Very shortsighted for a state that fancies itself as conservative.
