Oh, I have your defense

Texas is experiencing an extraordinary event not seen in 30 years

California, OTH, is a broken system year after year that lacks capacity and redundancy or resilience for conditions which are persistent throughout each year

[falcon99]

Bingo. But the MSM, Dems and a lot of Repubs are too stupid to see the difference

[ConservativeMind]

Well said.

I would hope California gets its act together, because it is a beautiful state.

It’s kinda like the riots.

One kind goes on endlessly, in wanton destruction, enabled and condoned by The Power. The other mingles around without vandalism, and ends without any drama in a few hours.

CA never had any big weather or other event precipitating their continuous blackouts. TX has it once with weather and it’s a big revenge moment.

Ah! Ya beat me to it!

...lacks capacity and redundancy or resilience for conditions which are persistent throughout each year.

"The record 121-degree reading, in Woodland Hills in the San Fernando Valley, northwest of downtown Los Angeles, eclipsed a record of 119, set in July 2006, according to Dave Bruno, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service’s Los Angeles/Oxnard forecasting office. “When all is said and done, there will probably be a dozen official records today, at least daily records, and several monthly or all-time records today,” Mr. Bruno said."

Record Heat Wave Creates 'Kiln-Like' Conditions In California

"Record high temperatures were recorded at Woodland Hills at 117 degrees and Palmdale at 111 degrees. Burbank’s high was 113 degrees, tying a record high for September that was set in 1971, according to the National Weather Service."

California’s ‘brutal’ heat wave is underway, expected to topple all-time records, escalate fire risks

Yep.
