Could very well be Texas. The state has been underperforming in the area of energy.

It is a national shame that Texas is a leading candidate. And the Republican party did it. They brought in ERCOT to monetize and bring the managerial centralization mentality to what had been a vibrant closed energy grid.
It staffed with women from Michigan, German enviro-nuts, etc.
They they closed coal plants as fast as they could to embrace the T.Boone Pickens windmill and solar scams. They loved those tax breaks and put those eyesores up everywhere.

And now, when it’s hot, Texas cannot run air conditioners. When it’s cold they freeze in the dark.

Embarrassing.

Agreed. The state has been underperforming in the area of energy.

That's because ERCOT has been focusing more on ESG scores and DIE than actual power generation.

Windmills are a waste of time, money and land.
