So why does the power continue to work in places like Wisconsin, where bitter cold is a way of life?

Because Texas has weather like this for a few days every 30-40 years. Should Texas spend like Wisconsin on this type of thing to minimize a freak event?

It is a freak event but I wonder why trucks loaded with generators were not streaming into Texas as soon as the roads were safe. Where was the federal government getting that help to them?

If you are going to build something, why not do it right. Make it withstand extremes because we will always have extreme weather patterns so might as well be prepared. Do it right the first time.
