So what. So the power is off for a few hours. 100 years ago, no one had power.

Well good for you! All these people and corporations are babies for wanting to have reliable power, heat and modern conveniences without having to spend money on backup systems. They don't understand like you do that sacrifices must be made in the name of Global Warming. /s

Of course where we live when the power goes out, we count ourselves darn lucky if it comes back on in a few hours. We are very fortunate to have a reliable supply of natural gas which costs us a third of what gasoline does to run our generators but it still costs over twice as much to generate our power. Others nearby have to rely on gasoline which costs approximately six times as much to generate their own power as what the utility company charges for electricity. And they have to make frequent trips to a gas station which typically has long lines during times when the power is off. Unfortunately, the stations nearby sometimes are not selling gasoline when the power is out.

But none of that matters to you because you believe it is more important to “save the planet” than have a reliable electric grid. You believe that climate models based on an unproven theory that have been shown to have zero predictive value over the past 40 years are reason enough to screw your fellow Texans who enjoy living in a modern society because a hundred years ago people didn't have a reliable electric grid and all the progress that has been made in that time just doesn't matter to you.
