There is only one large state that has it's own power grid, Texas. All the other states except Alaska and Hawaii are dependent on the 2 national power girds for electrical power. So the only state that could leave the union and still have electrical power is Texas. It is highly unlikely, at this time, that Texas would choose to leave the union. Things would have to get a heck of a lot worse first.

Up till quite recently not so much as an extension cord was legally allowed to cross the Texas border. I think that changed about 10 years ago so Texas could sell power nationally, but Texas still has it own grid.

All states have the ability to generate power. Because the power grid crosses state lines does not mean a state cannot secede. Other countries share power grids peacefully. You comment was and is just stupid. Secession does not mean war.
